Extract

There has recently been a plethora of new methods of psychosurgery. This has, we believe, created considerable bewilderment in the minds both of the clinical psychiatrists who have to decide which of the methods to choose and of the neurosurgeons who have to practise them. The aim of the present paper is to clarify and disentangle the situation as far as this can be done from the anatomical angle.
