In order to understand the applications of pre-frontal lobotomy in psychiatric hospitals integrated into the public and private spheres, this work is focused on the analysis of articles published by Barretto (1944, 1945) e Longo et al. (1949). Characterized as a low cost surgery, the procedure was justified by the quick suppression of symptoms aetiologically associated with the deviation of the patterns that underlie the characterization of the unhealthy as such. With this scenario in mind, I intend to investigate how that normalizing logic is linked to the affirmation (and reaffirmation) of social roles that are merged to the historical and cultural perspective exposed by those authors.
