I have to point out that at the time, lobotomy was considered a mainstream treatment for the severely mentally ill. The fact that this woman had violence problems puts her in that category. From our point of view, her father was a monster. But at the time, he simply authorized the "best" treatment available. The one's who should burn are those that thought up such a horror and sold it to well meaning people.
