Psychiatry

Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social and ethical problems in living.

Thomas Szasz, The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct (1974)

Psychiatry

Not only psychiatry itself but also the values reflected in its statistical definition of “normalcy” serve to condition men to habitual, unthinking, conformist behavior.

Benjamin R. Barber, “Forced to be Free: An Illiberal Defense of Liberty,” Superman and Common Men (New York: 1971), pp. 68-69

Psychiatry

I can't stand feeble, robotic psychiatrists. They give you false drugs and turn you into a zombie.

Ian Brady, as quoted in Evening Standard, Tue 25 June 2013, pp.1-4
