The Myth of Mental

Illness : Foundations of a
Theory of Personal
Conduct
 By

HarperCollins Publishers

Thomas Szasz's 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 pseudo-science and critiques the overreach of psychology
into all aspects of modern life.
