I find this subject very disturbing. I have visited several other official national mental health websites about contemporary psychosurgery(I remember Canada and Australia particularly) and the general trend seems to advocating an increased use of this form of intervention.
It seems to me that so much of what happens in Psychiatry is done without understanding what actually happens or the dynamics of the human mind. Treatment is often very much at the same level as cold showers and straight jackets, but with a more scientific kind of label.
