Abstract:
The diploma thesis Anthology of Unspoken is a form of personal therapy, a coping mechanism in the shape of an extensive personal research presented by visually eclectic web, which maps the perception of depression and melancholy in terms of historical, artistic, and partly academic discourse. AoU takes the form of a website on the border of an archive and a research blog, which visually reminds a notebook with the use of texts in the form of notes, reader view essays, and accompanying visual material (period paintings, pop-cultural references, emoticons etc.).

Abstract:
This anthology takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining the legacy of the controversial psychiatrist and libertarian philosopher Thomas Szasz (1920-2012), whose mordant criticism of psychiatry challenged the very concept of mental illness and the practice of coercive psychiatric treatment and some tenets of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The international spectrum of contributors represents a wide variety of viewpoints in psychiatry, philosophy, and the history of ideas. They discuss the viability of interpretations of mental illness, especially with reference to specific conditions

Abstract:
The Myth of Mental Illness was the book that launched Szasz’s reputation as a critical psychiatrist. Although he was aware of its controversial nature, the storm it generated in the United States and beyond took him by surprise. Examining the early years of Szasz’s career and contermplating certain contextual factors, in particular the sociopolitical background that shines through his work in many ways, as well as the social circumstances around psychiatry at the time, show to what extent his publications before 1961 predicted his later rebellion against the psychiatric establishment.

Abstract:
We would naturally expect Szasz, a libertarian conservative, to have been influenced by, for example, Rousseau, Burke, Hayek, von Mises, Thoreau, Socrates, Camus, Sartre, Mill, Mencken, Seneca, Nietzsche, Stirner, and individualism in general. But this is not entirely the case. As somewhat of a philosophical rogue, his influences were subterranean, selective, and so eclectic that we could almost accuse him of cherry-picking. He could not use many philosophers to his advantage since they mostly accepted the reality of mental illness. Yet in Szasz’s works we detect Popper’s rejection of historic

Abstract:
The idea that mental disorders are value-laden means that they harbor action-guiding meanings and are subject to praise or blame. This domain of values includes a specific kind of value—vice—which describes wrongful, immoral, or criminal thought or conduct (e.g., antisocial personality disorder, pedophilia, conduct disorder, intermittent explosive disorder). Vice-laden mental disorders are problematic because they imply that (1) psychiatrists police antisocial conduct; (2) vice-laden disorders contribute to stigmatizing mental illness; and (3) they generate incoherent social policy and program

Abstract:
Szasz objected to the medicalization of suicide, the legalization of suicide prevention, and especially the coercive role of psychiatry in this realm. He declared that, by medicalizing suicide, we banish the subject from discussion. What is meant by acceptable and unacceptable “suicide”? Who has a right to commit suicide? How does suicide implicate freedom? Does it reflect abortion jurisprudence? How do psychiatrists become suicide’s gatekeepers? Current phenomena (e.g., new physician-assisted suicide legislation) illuminate these and other issues (e.g., euthanasia, informed consent, informed

Abstract:
Szasz’s understanding of persons as agents underwrites his ideas about mental illness and clinical psychiatry as a medical specialty. He asserts that the phenomena of mental illnesses, including suffering, signal “problems in living” or difficulties in determining the best use of one’s agential powers. The goals of the relationship are to enhance the client’s knowledge of his or her personality, to refine his intentions and sense of responsibility for his “symptoms” and other actions, and to achieve his aims and satisfy his desires, as long as he does not, by his actions, harm others.

Abstract:
Szasz attracted applause from opponents of medical psychiatry, for advancing his thesis that mental illnesses are outside the scope of biomedical sciences; and criticism in equal measure from proponents of biomedical psychiatry, for excluding patients from clinical care. There is a third way to respond to Szasz’s idea of this myth, emerging out of value theory in the Oxford analytic tradition of ordinary language philosophy, which knits together thesis and antithesis into a new, values-based synthesis.

Pace Szasz, schizophrenia is a brain disease. Yet Szasz is correct that the medicalization of human follies has gone too far. Again pace Szasz, involuntary treatment is often necessary, when and if approved by laws, given certain diagnoses of abnormalities, and especially necessary in treating schizophrenics, largely because the disease impairs one’s ability to make rational decisions about one’s own welfare. Evidence from brain imaging and other neurological evidence shows that schizophrenics lose abilities to decide for themselves, just as sufferers from Alzheimer’s disease do. Moreover, Sza

Szasz’s final book, Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine (2011), covers the medical, legal, and philosophical aspects of suicide. The question of suicide goes straight to the core of the human condition. Szasz’s fearless wisdom brought this ostensibly taboo—yet historically popular and philosophically rich—topic into a brighter light. However, this topic is too complex to be resolved by confining it to an overly simplistic dichotomy of autonomy versus paternalism.
