Shutter Island, Forensic Psychology & Lobotomies, Oh My!


As some of you might know I'm in the process of pursuing my master's degree in Forensic Psychology, what is it, you ask?  (Every person inevitably does).  Forensic Psychology is essentially the study and etiology (cause) of the deviant individual - that sounded so smart. lol.  

Recently Kip & I went and saw Shutter Island which was AMAZING.  The bonus?  It was centered around Forensic Psychology and the early introduction of Thorazine (antipsychotic/neuroleptic drug) as a use for mental illness and psychotic diseases, as well as some references to lobotomies.
