What are lobotomies and how did they impact the lives of the many people who had this treatment done to them? What types of lobotomies were done on the patients and what was the reasons for it? How did lobotomies disappear as time went on? Many questions can be asked about this topic and these are the most important things. I really wanted to know what lobotomies were because before the book One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest it made me very interested. After doing some research I through out journals, books and essays I have learned exactly what lobotomies are and how they worked.
