MANUFACTURING MADNESS (in a sluggish economy) Inconvenient truth about astro nomical costs of good health???? (astro-comical in reality?) One of my must read books for back to the future... The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement Thomas Stephen Szasz Every age, Thomas Szasz maintains, has its methods of labeling others to assign them a particular fate; the witch and the heretic were consigned to fire, for example. In the twentieth century, however, the priest has been replaced by the psychiatrist, the infidel by the patient; only the way in which the victims differ from society at large with its ensuing punishment all for the good of society, (then, as now) is different. Indeed, Szasz makes it clear that medicine is if anything a more insidious tyrant than religion because it purports to be beneficial to the patient as well as the commonwealth. © 2014 3D Divine Deadbeat Dad---Alleged - 6/26/14 writersontheloose/writers/writer1323/index.cfm?story=65538
