The myth of mental Illness: foundations of a theory of personal conduct

Trama

Il classico libro di Thomas Szasz ha rivoluzionato il pensiero sulla natura della professione psichiatrica e le implicazioni morali delle sue pratiche. Diagnosticando il comportamento indesiderato come malattia mentale, gli psichiatri, sostiene Szasz, assolvono gli individui dalla responsabilità personale delle loro azioni e incolpano invece la loro presunta malattia.
