This feature looks at lobotomies--brain surgeries that were used to treat certain types of mental illness--and some of the people who received the treatments (such as 12-year-old Howard Dully). Includes a FAQ discussing prefrontal and transorbital ("ice-pick") lobotomies, a timeline, oral histories from patients and witnesses, images, audio of the program, and links to related resources. From National Public Radio (NPR); produced by Sound Portraits Productions.
