psychosurgery ------ operative procedures on the brain designed to relieve severe mental symptoms that have not responded to other forms of treatment.
lobotomy ------ originated in 1936, when Portuguese neurologist Egaz Moniz first treated uncontrollable psychoses by cutting the nerve fibers between the frontal lobes and the thalamus and hypothalamus.

eclectic approach ------ 393
deinstitutionalization ------ discharging patients from mental hospitals as soon as possible and discouraging admissions. page 396
