My Madness Saved Me: The Madness and Marriage of Virginia Woolf
ISBN: 9780765803214 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The vast literature on Virginia Woolf's life, work, and marriage falls into two groups. A large majority is certain that she was mentally ill, and a small minority is equally certain that she was not mentally ill but was misdiagnosed by psychiatrists. In this daring exploration of Woolf's life and work, Thomas Szasz--famed for his radical critique of psychiatric concepts, coercions, and excuses--examines the evidence and rejects both views. Instead, he looks at how Virginia Woolf, as well as her husband Leonard, used the concept of madness and the profession of psychiatry to manage and...

Our Right to Drugs: The Case for a Free Market
ISBN: 9780275942168 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. .In Our Right to Drugs, Thomas Szasz shows that our present drug war started at the beginning of this century, when the American government first assumed the task of protecting people from patent medicines. By the end of World War I, however, the free market in drugs was but a dim memory, if that. Instead of dwelling on the familiar impracticality or unfairness of our drug laws, Szasz demonstrates the deleterious effects of prescription laws which place people under lifelong medical tutelage. The result is that most Americans today prefer a coercive and corrupt command drug economy to a... .In Our Right to Drugs, Thomas Szasz shows that our present drug war started at the beginning of this century, when the American government first a... |

Insanity: The Idea and Its Consequences
ISBN: 9780815604600 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea of insanity pervades every aspect of our daily lives. Thomas Szasz contends that the term actually functions as a euphemism for problems in living, as an excuse for crime and misbehaviour, as a stigma for invalidating adversaries - and, generally, as a metaphor and legal fiction.

The Theology of Medicine: The Political-Philosophical Foundations of Medical Ethics
ISBN: 9780815602255 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The essays assembled in this volume reflect my long-standing interest in moral philosophy and my conviction that the idea of a medical ethics as something distinct and separate from ethics is an absurdity. Every person who acts is a moral agent. A person who possesses special knowledge and skills and is expected to act in the face of life-threatening circumstances--such as a physician--is someone whose status as moral agent is accordingly greatly enhanced. From the preface by the author.

Antipsychiatry: Quackery Squared
ISBN: 9780815609438 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. More than fifty years ago, Thomas Szasz showed that the concept of mental illness - a disease of the mind - is an oxymoron, a metaphor, a myth. In this book, he argues that his writings belong to neither psychiatry nor antipsychiatry. They stem from conceptual analysis, social-political criticism, and common sense.

Fatal Freedom: The Ethics and Politics of Suicide
ISBN: 9780275966461 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Fatal Freedom" is an eloquent defense of every individual's right to choose a voluntary death. The author, a renowned psychiatrist, believes that we can speak about suicide calmly and rationally, as he does in this book, and that we can ultimately accept suicide as part of the human condition. By maintaining statutes that determine that voluntary death is not legal, our society is forfeiting one of its basic freedoms and causing the psychiatric/medical establishment to treat individuals in a manner that is disturbingly inhumane according to Dr. Szasz. His important work asks and points to... "Fatal Freedom" is an eloquent defense of every individual's right to choose a voluntary death. The author, a renowned psychiatrist, believes that ... |

Es steht schlecht um die Licht- und die Schattenwelt. Die Machte des Bosen scheinen sich trotz aller Bemuhungen der mutigen Bruder, Flo und Basti, immer schneller zu manifestieren und die Oberhand zu gewinnen. Es bleibt nur noch ein einziger Ausweg. Sie mussen so schnell wie moglich das sagenumwobene Relikt finden, welches lediglich in einer uralten Prophezeiung erwahnt wird.

Meaning of Mind: Language, Morality, and Neuroscience
ISBN: 9780815607755 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Szasz demonstrates the futility of analysing the mind as a collection of brain functions. In his previous publication The Myth of Mental Illness, he took psychiatry to task for misconstruing human conflict and coping as mental illness. In Our Right to Drugs, he exposed the irrationality and political opportunism that fuels the Drug War. Here, he warns that we misconstrue the dialogue within as a problem of consciousness and neuroscience and do so at our peril.

Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine
ISBN: 9780815609902 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Western thought, suicide has evolved from sin to sin and crime, to crime, to mental illness, and to semilegal act. A legal act is one we are free to think and speak about and plan and perform, without penalty by agents of the state. While dying voluntarily is ostensibly legal, suicide attempts and even suicidal thoughts are routinely punished by incarceration in a psychiatric institution. Although many people believe the prevention of suicide is one of the duties the modern state owes its citizens, Szasz argues that suicide is a basic human right and that the lengths to which the...

Pain and Pleasure: A Study of Bodily Feelings (Expanded)
ISBN: 9780815602309 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this work Dr. Szasz dispels popular and scientific confusion about what pain and pleasure actually are. Demonstrating the doubtful value of such distinctions as "real" and Imagined" pain, or "physical" and "intellectual" pleasure, he analyses the basic concepts-psychological, philosophical, and sociological-involved in bodily feelings and discusses how these feelings are communicated. Some of the subjects discussed in Pain and Pleasure include: self-mutilation, sexual satisfaction, "hysterical anesthesia," false pregnancy, laughter, homosexuality, and dream analysis. ...
