Synopsis:
|
A spirited child with a cruel stepmother, Howard Dully was brought to six psychiatrists to address his disruptive nature. They all said he was perfectly normal, and four of them considered his stepmother to be the true problem. The seventh doctor was Walter Freeman, the medical zealot responsible for the boom in the popularity of lobotomies, a man who drove his "lobotomobile" across the country demonstrating the technique (performed by pounding an ice-pick through the back of a patients eye-socket) in mental facilities. And so, at the age of 12 Dully was given a transorbital lobotomy, an act that made him feel cast out of society, a kind of "Frankenstein." In his tragic memoir, Dully describes the pain of never knowing if his personal problems were a result of his unloving family, his surgical operation, or his own personality. Regardless, he drifted from institution to institution, often spiraling into drugs and alcohol, until finally, in San Diego he found love and began to rebuild his mangled life.
