"A powerful and fittingly impassioned indictment of psychiatrists who 
use coercion to `treat' patients by the psychiatrist who has done 
more than anyone else to challenge psychiatry to abandon the 
destructive use of force and replace it with consent, trust, and 
adherence to the Hippocratic injunction to `do no harm.'"

Keith Hoeller, editor, Review of Existential Psychology & Psychiatry
"Nearly all books on the history of psychiatry have been written by 
people who wholeheartedly believe in the reality of `mental illness.' 
At long last we have a history of psychiatry by the very man who 
nearly fifty years ago declared mental illness to be a myth. 
Stripping away centuries of self-serving propaganda written by 
psychiatry's acolytes, Dr. Thomas Szasz gives us a radically new look 
at the history of the world's most dangerous political religions. 
 From the eighteenth century's `trade in lunacy' to the nineteenth 
century's `insane asylums' to the twentieth century's `snake pits' to 
the twenty-first century's `outpatient commitment,' Szasz gives us a 
radically different perspective on the major episodes in the history 
of psychiatry. After Coercion as Cure, we will never be able to look 
at psychiatry again as a legitimate claimant to the throne of medical 
science."
