- Summary:
- "In the first interview, Thomas Szasz and Randy Wyatt deconstruct the long-cherished notion of mental illness, differentiating it from true medical disease. They then turn a critical lens toward the conspiratorial way physicians and the federal government have created a medical state in order to subjugate the citizenry through pharmacracy. In the second interview Szasz and Wyatt and explore the many faces of coercion, the tension between internal and external control, and the way that psychiatry, psychotherapy and pharmacology collude to strip people of personal freedom. They even challenge our cherished belief that multiculturalism will bring people together. Together, these unsettling conversations will challenge your core beliefs about the helping profession and move you to deeper levels of reflection on how best to truly serve your patients, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized"-- Provided by publisher
