The first volume in the publisher's Under Fire Series focuses on Thomas Szasz, a splendidly controversial figure whose 1961 book, The Myth of Mental Illness asserted that mental illness is a myth, the result of psychiatric dogma, psychiatric practice, and politicized medicine. In a format that will continue with other books in the series, contributors offer 12 position papers, and Szasz responds to each. Topics include whether mental illness is indeed a myth, the effect of values-based medicine, the therapeutic state, addiction, pharmacracy, physician-assisted suicide, and schizophrenia. An autobiography and a bibliography of his publications since 1947 are included. Editor Schaler is a psychologist and psychotherapist affiliated with American University.
