Freedom and insanity
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 3 (3):343-350 (1982)
| Abstract | The paper describes the refusal of the liberal community to assert the right of persons accused of mental illness to be free of coercive psychiatric intrusion. It suggests that the penchant for benevolent governmental intrusion into other social problems may be at fault and recommends that intervention be abandoned in favor of a return to human autonomy as a basis of the concept of freedom | |||||||||
