Psychiatry kills: A critical evaluation of Dr. Thomas Szasz

Thomas Szasz M.D., is the leading figure in the public debate over inequities and abuses to which those labeled mentally ill are subject. Szasz has drawn public attention to many important problems in the so-called therapeutic state, and urged changes that are now being introduced. Many of his arguments are, however, not well founded in fact and at times he relies on distortions and demagoguery which obscure the possibility of adequate solutions.
