The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct Revised edition
Thomas S. Szasz
By diagnosing behaviour problems as 'mental illness', this book argues that psychiatry absolves the individual of responsibility for his actions, placing blame instead on the illness. It also argues that Freudian psychology is a dangerous pseudo-science, and critiques the overreach of psychology into the various aspects of modern life.
