Every age labels people and consigns them to a particular fate - such as the witch consigned to the fire. The priest has now been replaced by the psychiatrist. This text examines the role of medicine as a more insidious tyrant than religion, despite its claim to be beneficial to both the patient and the commonwealth. 426 pages.
