Personality Change and Prognosis After Leucotomy

Abstract: Though twelve years have now passed since the first prefrontal leucotomy was performed, the status of this form of therapy is still far from settled. There are some who would never perform the operation at all; and some who would reserve it for the chronic sick; while others (Fleming, 1944) would advise its use at an early stage in the illness in cases where there were reasonable grounds for believing that recovery would not otherwise occur. With opposition of a purely emotional kind, the profession as a whole… Show more

“…Only 1 of the 4 (HD209961, HIP109082, B2V) spectroscopic binaries discussed by van Albada & Klomp (1969) is selected. Several other studies have put forward 'special' candidate members (e.g., Crawford 1961;Slettebak, Bahner & Stock 1961;Kodaira, Greenstein & Oke 1970;Levato & Abt 1976;Guetter 1976;Malaroda 1981;Garmany & Stencel 1992): we confirm membership of the emission-line star HD216851 (HIP113226, B3V:n), the shell star HD213801 (HIP111337, B9V), and the red supergiants HD213310 and HD216946 (HIP111022, M0II, and HIP113288, K5Ibvar, respectively). We do not confirm most candidate members with peculiar and/or magnetic spectra.…”

“…The large variety in stellar content, projected dimension, clumpiness, age, and connection to the interstellar medium introduces biases in the identification of the associations. For example, associations containing several luminous supergiants can be detected out to several kpc (e.g., Cep OB1 in §8.2 ;Humphreys 1978;Garmany & Stencel 1992), whereas associations without such stars can easily escape attention. Ruprecht's list is based on Ambartsumian's definition which requires the presence of O stars and an open cluster as 'nucleus' (e.g., Alter et al 1970).…”

“…They are also essential for stars with weak winds, when H α turns into an almost photospheric absorption line, a situation impossible to deal with quantitatively by treating photosphere and wind as separated entities. For our work, we use the new unified model Garmany & Stencel, 1992 code developed recently by Santolaya-Rey et al (1997, hereafter SPH). This new code is extremely fast and produces a unified model in few minutes on a work station, which is crucial for a project aiming at the analysis of many stars with different stellar parameters and different wind properties.…”

“…Clinical Features.-Most writers have not given any clinical detail of their relapsed leucotomy cases, but Cook (1946) has described two patients with agitated depression who relapsed after one and a half years, and two with " somatopsychic "delusions who relapsed after four to five months; Frank (1946) referred to two paraphrenics who relapsed after one year and one aggressive psychopath who relapsed eight months after operation; and Garmany (1948) has reported an acutely obsessional patient with full relapse after complete postoperative recovery over a period of four years, and a catatonic who relapsed after three years of mental health. The types of mental symptoms and syndromes in these patients who suffered relapse and in the six under review comprise, therefore, most of the commonest components of the functional psychoses.…”
