Lobotomy in Norwegian psychiatry

Lobotomy in Norwegian psychiatry

Joar Tranøy et al. Hist Psychiatry. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Lobotomy is still a hidden chapter in the history of Norwegian psychiatry. The main reasons, which are discussed here, may have been the role of Ørnulv Ødegård at Gaustad Hospital in Oslo and the links between health authorities and the power élite in Norwegian psychiatry.
