The Myth of Mental Illness
Book • 1961
In this influential book, Thomas S. Szasz challenges the legitimacy of psychiatry, arguing that the concept of mental illness is logically absurd and has harmful consequences.
He contends that psychiatrists absolve individuals of responsibility for their actions by diagnosing unwanted behavior as mental illness.
Szasz also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the overreach of psychiatry into modern life.
The book includes a new preface on the age of Prozac and Ritalin and the rise of designer drugs, along with two bonus essays in the 50th anniversary edition.
