Thank you so much for these. I'm attending a web based course, and my professor did not include video lectures. This is really helpful. This is an extremely helpful tool.

Hi Hanna, I may be wrong, but I believe the way you describe lobotomy as it was practiced in the early days of psychiatry and in mental hospitals is slightly incorrect. The procedure you referred to is known as a corpus callosotomy, which is still perform today on severe epileptics, as you mentioned. However, lobotomy refers to the transection of the anterior prefrontal cortex in its entirety, much more invasive and damaging than a corpus callosotomy. Often times physicians performing lobotomy would simply swish the pick around in order to scramble the frontal lobe of patients.

Subscribed. Nice lecture

This is excellent overall but such a good example of the overwhelming anti-Freudian state of modern training. You make such a big deal of the things that aren't supported by modern science (which, of course, there are, and they should be clearly noted as such) but then don't mention at all how prescient some of the very ideas you mention were, even as you are acknowledging that they form the *basis* of modern developmental psych.

Ur ability to speak is outstanding
