From Witchcraft to Madness
|
|
Szasz's classic work takes a critical look at the social definition of mental illness and compares it to the medieval witch crazes. The book outraged the psychiatric profession in its time, but Szasz's analysis has not lost any of its potency or accuracy, and moral questions about mental illness / sanity are no less vital to contemporary society. Essential reading for anyone in the caring professions.
