It was also done because they feared she would become pregnant out of wedlock as she was sexually active. [b]Screwing around is a pastime reserved only for the boys in the Kennedy family.[/b]
Lobotomized as a young woman

"But as she got older, her father worried that his daughter’s mild condition would lead her into situations that could damage the family’s reputation."

“Rosemary was a woman, and there was a dread fear of pregnancy, disease and disgrace,” author Laurence Leamer wrote in an unauthorized Kennedy biography called “The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family.” He wrote that Rosemary had taken to sneaking out of the convent where she was staying at the time.

Doctors told Joseph Kennedy that a lobotomy, a medical procedure in which the frontal lobes of a patient’s brain are scraped away, would help his daughter and calm her mood swings that the family found difficult to handle at home.

Psychosurgery was in its infancy at the time, and only a few hundred lobotomies had been performed. The procedure was believed to be a way to relieve serious mental disorders. Leamer wrote that Rosemary was “probably the first person with mental retardation in America to receive a prefrontal lobotomy.”[/quote]

You know what is really sad? A person like you who is quoting an unauthorized biography (which basically has NO standard of truth whatsoever) to support your expertise on the field of psychiatric surgery (which is what it is called, not "psychosurgery"). Going around judging a painful chapter in a family's life with 50/50 hindsight is usually the activity of people who are compensating for their OWN guilt. [b]Work out what your issues are with your SN child with a therapist[/b], PP. But if blaming Joe Kennedy for it makes you feel better go for it. I also have a special needs kids. It has made me more sensitive to human frailty--clearly not the case for you. But carry on with your quotes from 'unauthorized celebrity biographers'.  [/quote]
I don't have a SN child. Apparently you do, so if you think lobotomizing SN kids is fine... so be it. I'm not judging you. However, you may want to ask [b]University of Phoenix for a refund on that psychology degree.[/b][/quote]

Really? You actually lifted that bit about the Psychology from Phoenix degree from the DCUM Mean People thread? It wasn't funny there and it looks even lamer regurgitated here. And the swipe about screwing around wasn't actually funny, just kinda lame.
