Thomas Szasz dies

Thomas Szasz, MD, author of the classic, "The Myth of Mental Illness, " died over the weekend at his home near Syracuse, NY.  I was lucky to have heard him speak twice--once last year at the IESPP conference, and once while I was in graduate school at Syracuse University.  Although criticized by the mainstream psychiatric system for his "radical" views, many have continued to champion his cause.

thomas szasz opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about so-called "mental illness" about 35 years ago. that he is still considered "radical" by some is remarkable, and sad. he is a true champion of our field, in my eyes.
