Forensic Medicine Editorial Review
The Manufacture of Madness provides a comparative study of the Inquisition and the mental health movement. Although written in the mid-20th century the book is still relevant today, encouraging readers to take a second look at the paradigm of categorizing people as "sane" and "insane." Szasz combines history and arguments to present alternative views of mental illness that will stimulate curiosity and encourage readers to examine conventional theories.
