This intriguing book undercuts everything you thought you knew about psychotherapy.Review Quotes
As always, Szasz underscores certain truths about abuses of psychiatric practice and makes a number of good points.-- "American Journal of Psychiatry"
Szasz extends the conviction he first expressed in The Myth of Mental Illness that the concept of mental illness is both erroneous and immoral; ergo, the treatment thereof must also be immoral. Moreover, since there is no such thing as mental illness there cannot possibly be such a thing as psychotherapy.-- "British Journal of Psychiatry"
Szasz's important book will test the self-insight of anyone involved in the therapeutic process.-- "Publishers Weekly"
To read this book is to be challenged in one's thinking, excited by new ways of looking at today's problems, irritated and annoyed, but never to be bored.-- "El Paso Times"
