Marie you need a full frontal lobotomy to help you spell Psycho-surgical, psychiatry and psychology! That was just about the only surgery done years ago where the frontal lobes of the brain were often removed. Very little psycho-surgery is done these days - unless a patient has psychological problems due possibly to brain damage. If the damage shows on a brain scan then it can sometimes be repaired using surgery. Complex issue - even more complex than spelling psychiatry. But no one is perfect - the spell checker said I mis-typed lobotomy!

Are you talking about labotomy. Where the frontal lobes are interfered with to change someones personality. Not to strong on this one but it was very popular during the early part of the 1900's.
I'll add that I spelt it wrong it is lobotomy. One search revealed that it was used to calm dogs in 1890 ish and that it was used in humans around 1936. So probably is what you are describing.

You sound like a psychology student seeking an easy answer to a difficult essay question! Final year perchance?
