Full Description
Originally published in 1973, Thomas Szasz's collection of aphorisms, definitions and maxims strikes at the heart of confusion, mystification and humbug, in the areas of human relations, language, thought and psychiatry. The book covers the remarkable range of one of America's most original thinkers and controversial psychiatrists of the twentieth century. It represents an important step in the direction of clear thinking and clear speaking and a stimulating and entertaining insight into man's inhumanity and intolerance.
