The author offers a thorough account of the history of psychosurgical procedures and the underlying rationale, with an objective evaluation of the results. Equally thorough is his study of clinical and social applications, with a unique integration of animal research and human clinical information. He also discusses ethical problems involved in the development of techniques to modify the brain and examines proposed applications of brain control techniques to social problems caused by agressiveness, biomedical experimentation on prisoners, and thephilosophy of manipulating personality and behavior by destroying or stimulating brain tissue."
