reviewed The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement on November 22, 2008
The Manufacture of Madness
A free thinker's delight. What Szasz says in essense is that social engineering is no more fun from a modern and secular/"scientific" world view than it was from a religious/"moral" world view. The problem with the "enlightened" perspective (in power) down through the ages remains. The right and responsible people need witches and madmen to justify their rightousness and they need jails torture and death sentences to justify their resonsibility. A must read for anyone who has ever been incarcerated in a mental instituion against their will or lost loved ones in a holy crusade.
