Is insanity a myth? Does it exist merely to keep psychiatrists in business? In Insanity: The Idea and Its Consequences, Dr. Szasz challenges the way both science and society define insanity; in the process, he helps us better understand this often misunderstood condition. Dr. Szasz presents a carefully crafted account of the insanity concept and shows how it relates to and differs from three closely allied ideas—bodily illness, social deviance, and the sick role.

Excerpt from A New View of Insanity: The Duality of the Mind Proved by the Structure, Functions, and Diseases of the Brain, and of the Phenomena of Mental Derangement, and Shewn to Be Essential to Moral Responsibility; With an Appendix, on the Influence of Religion on Insanity I will only add, in anticipation and deprecation of critical censure, that a man cannot well be accused of precipitation or presumption who waits till his sixtieth year to promulgate opinions he has held during half his life with daily increasing conviction; which he believes to be of the greatest importance in medicine, morals, and jurisprudence - ia the management of the insane - ia the treatment of criminals - the education of youth - and, above all, in the discipline of imperfect, defective, and distorted minds.
