Abstract
From the search inside the complex biography of the
case of a patient, as well as finding similarities with
other operations such as the psychosurgery made to
Rosemary Kennedy, we get into a journey that lead us
from the early beginning to the present psychosurgery,
from its origins, successes and failures as well as their
current status. Neuroanatomical features including
biosocial psychopathological are considered. A journey
to the future from the beginnings of psychosurgery,
with its lights and shadows, until now. At the end we
will discover how much psychiatry has been developed
during the last 30 years, and how this pioneers
discovered a way of treatment that is still being used in
some specific indications, like severe OCD.
Key words: obsessive compulsive disorder; delirious;
psychosurgery; lobotomy; cingulotomy; cognitive im-
pairment disorder; case report
