Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of treatment by prefrontal leucotomy in 30 cases of mental disorder. In view of the fact that this procedure is not only comparatively new, and uncertain in its ultimate effects, but is also after all a destructive operation, its trial was only felt to be justified, in the first instance at any rate, in a selected number of chronic patients with an apparently hopeless or very poor prognosis.
