Psychiatry
I owe my complete restoration to a discovery I made while being treated at that particular very expensive sanatorium. I discovered there was an endless source of robust enjoyment in trifling with psychiatrists: cunningly leading them on.
Vladimir Nabokov. Lolita Penguin UK, 27 July 2012, p. 103
Psychiatry
Many psychiatrists and psychologists refuse to entertain the idea that society as a whole may be lacking in sanity. They hold that the problem of mental health in a society is only that of the number of ‘unadjusted’ individuals, and not of a possible unadjustment of the culture itself.
Erich Fromm, The Sane Society
Psychiatry

Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: 1973), p. 102
