Through a close and thoughtful examination of lobotomist Walter Freeman, and especially his relations with patients, Raz has made a major contribution. * BULLETIN OF THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE * This volume provides a novel perspective on Walter Freeman's early training, linking it convincingly to his later professional practices and views. Highlighting that the efficacy of medical procedures is a complex and to some degree context-bound business, Raz's work is an important contribution to the history of twentieth-century American psychiatry. -- Andrew Scull, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Science Studies, University of California, San Diego
