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.
