Schizophrenia: The Sacred Symbol of Psychiatry
Syracuse University Press (1988)
Abstract
Szasz argues that the word schizophrenia does not stand for a genuine disease, that psychiatry has invented the concept as a sacred symbol to justify the practice of locking up people against their will and treating them with a variety of unwanted, unsolicited, and damaging interventions.
