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.
