But her amazing comeback after 17 years suggests to him that psychiatrists should take a long, hard look at their definition of "incurable."* He also thinks that they should go slow with extreme procedures such as brain surgery (lobotomy) or shock treatments which are often ordered for schizophrenics from fear that "the patient will deteriorate."
