Description

"Taking the reader on a grand tour of American schools and universities, courts, community mental health centers, and psychiatric hospitals he shows how . . . psychiatry too often serves as a convenient way of avoiding confrontations with moral conflicts and social problems. He warns that 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." Ideology and Insanity Essays on the Psychiatric Dehumanization of Man Softback, 7" x 4", 265 pages, 1970 Covers show light creasing. Book is solid and clean and appears unread.
