Shuman's references to Peter Breggin (19 cites) while paying tribute to Breggin's "unhypocritical" absolute opposition, sits the fence : Breggin is "eschewing science for propaganda," moreover he shouldn't have gone directly to Congress to drum up public distaste for lobotomy, nor meddled in "the Detroit case," which appears to have touched Shuman particularly. 564.
