pterodactyl commented on the word retrophrenology
A concept from the Discworld series, by Terry Pratchett. According to phrenology, you can learn about a person's personality by studying certain bumps on the skull. Retrophrenology, therefore, is the practice of altering a person's personality by creating certain bumps on the skull (by means of a selection of differently-sized mallets).
