Description
HarperCollins Publishers Inc Myth Of Mental Illness, The by Thomas S. Szasz
Thomas Szaszs classic book revolutionised thinking throughout the world about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices. By diagnosing behaviour problems as mental illness psychiatry Szasz argues absolves the individual of responsibility for his actions placing blame instead on the illness. In The Myth of Mental Illness he attacks Freudian psychology as a dangerous pseudoscience and critiques the overreach of psychology into all aspects of modern life.
