Thomas Szasz (1920-2012) was professor of psychiatry emeritus at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, Washington, DC. He was a prominent figure in the anti-psychiatry movement and a critic of the moral and scientific foundation of psychiatry.
"In Liberation by Oppression, his latest thrust at the Therapeutic State and psychiatric mendacity, Szasz leaves no doubt as to the legitimacy and credibility of his arguments.... [It] is a valiant and worthy effort by one of the great modern thinkers to keep the flame of liberty burning. It is a bold, powerful, and intellectually spirited debunking of the psychiatric pseudoscience that debases the human spirit and damages countless lives. It is a masterful defense of both reason and individual rights." - Robert A. Baker, American latrogenic Association Library; "Every defender of the therapeutic state should be strapped down and made to answer the questions Dr. Szasz poses about the psychiatric industry's mission creep." - Mick Hume, columnist, The Times, London and editor, spiked-online.com
