Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-03 00:00:00 Dean Keiter I've long enjoyed the libertarian/civil liberties bent to Dr. Szasz's books. With the exception of his first, the one on pain, all have proven rewarding efforts, antidotes to the attitudes prevalent in modern psychiatry and jurisprudence, challenges to my conditioning. This one is about the abuse of insanity/mental incapacity determinations in law, means by which the rights of citizens to fair and speedy trials, or to any trial at all, are circumvented. Most interesting to me was one of the four case studies presented, the one about retired General Walker--you know, the right-winger that Lee Harvey Oswald is purported to have attempted to kill.
