Time for a revival? The most influential critique of psychiatry ever written, Thomas Szaszs classic book revolutionized thinking about the nature of the psychiatric profession and the moral implications of its practices.

He also critiques Freudian psychology as a pseudoscience and warns against the dangerous overreach of psychiatry into all aspects of modern life.
