title: [Lobotomy].
abstract: Lobotomy was the first psychosurgical method which aroused interest. It was developed by António Egas Moniz in 1935. Lobotomy was understood to be a promising treatment in schizophrenia and in 1940-ies and -50-ies about 1600 patients were operated in Finland. In 1960-ies psychopharmacas set aside the operation. The lobotomized brain, radiological and neuropathological documents of the operation are destined to disappear.
