mental illness myth

The Myth of Mental Illness:
In his bold book, Thomas Sasse doesn't just question psychiatry, he demolishes it from the ground up. He argues that mental illness is a myth created by society to restrict unwanted behavior, and that so-called treatment is nothing more than a modern form of control.
From within institutions and from the heart of experience, Sasse reveals how the psychiatrist has become a judge, and how diagnosis has become a political weapon cloaked in the language of science.
This book shakes your certainty...and demands that you think again: Is the patient truly ill, or just... different?
