Psychiatric Justice

By Thomas Szasz and MD Thomas S. Szasz

Book Overview

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.
