Ideology and Insanity

Dependent title
Essays on the psychiatric dehumanization of man

Annotation: In the social and political conflicts that take place in any society, control of the weak by the strong is justified by the rhetoric appropriate to the prevailing ideology. The 20th century’s credo is Mental Health; and in its name those who deviate from accepted social norms are often victimized and dehumanized. The author of these fourteen essays is a psychoanalyst and teacher. Here, Dr. Thomas Szasz shows how, by encouraging us to wage war on the false front of mental illness, psychiatry too often serves as a convenient way of avoiding confrontations with moral conflicts and societal problems. And, he warns us, if we persist in defining the vicissitudes of life as mental illnesses, and psychiatric interventions as medical treatments, we court the hazards of political tyranny disguised as psychiatric therapy.
