Psychiatric Justice - Paperback
$21.55
by Thomas Szasz (Author)
Psychiatric Justice explores the intersection of psychiatry and law, arguing that pretrial psychiatric examinations and subsequent hospitalizations often undermine justice rather than serve it. The book presents four case histories to illustrate this point, challenging both legal and medical professionals to reconsider their approaches.
Back Jacket
Szasz troubles the dark, still waters of psychiatry and the law. He peeps beneath the crazy quilt of federal and state procedures which render impotent the constitutional right to a speedy and public trial.
