A series of six programmes
with Professor Thomas Szasz

As a practising psychiatrist in America Professor Szasz is in the unusual position of dismissing much that is fundamental to modern psychiatry. In particular he condemns any action done by psychiatrists against the will of the patient, such as compulsory treatment, or committal to mental hospital. His opinions stem from his denial that certain types of behaviour - neuroses, psychoses and so on - are illnesses in any real sense.

Not surprisingly, many British psychiatrists strongly disagree with Szasz's views and some of them will be arguing with him in tonight's discussion from the Royal Institution.

Introduced by Professor Sir George Porter
