Explore the groundbreaking ideas in Thomas Szasz’s “Myth of Mental Illness,” the 50th anniversary edition of a seminal work that challenges the very definition of psychiatric disorders. This influential book, lauded by The New York Times, argues that psychiatry often expands its scope to control moral and cultural conflicts. Szasz contends that diagnosing behavior as illness absolves individuals of responsibility, a perspective that reshaped discussions on the psychiatric profession. This edition includes new insights into modern psychopharmacology and designer drugs. Discover why this classic remains essential reading for understanding the moral implications of psychiatry and its pervasive influence on society.
