Since he published The Myth of Mental Illness in 1961, professor of psychiatry Thomas Szasz has been the scourge of the psychiatric establishment. In dozens of books and articles, he has argued passionately and knowledgeably against compulsory commitment of the mentally ill, against the war on drugs, against the insanity defense in criminal trials, against the "diseasing" of voluntary humanpractices such as addiction and homosexual behavior, against the drugging of schoolchildren with Ritalin, and for the right to suicide. Most controversial of all has been his denial that "mental illness" is a literal disease, treatable by medical practitioners.
In Szasz Under Fire, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other leading experts who disagree with Szasz on specific issues explain the reasons, with no holds barred, and Szasz replies cogently and pungently to each of them. Topics debated include the nature of mental illness, the right to suicide, the insanity defense, the use and abuse of drugs, and the responsibilities of psychiatrists and therapists. These exchanges are preceded by Szasz's autobiography and followed by a bibliography of his works.

Fit design.
Size: Medium, Color: Slate Grey
The fabric is really comfortable and it's well tailored! But I need cup room and this fits across me like a bandage, feeling like it mashes me flat. I removed the pads to allow more room for comfort, but it still feels too confining. If you're a small bra cup size, it will be comfortable.

Perfect top
Size: Large, Color: Flamingo Pink
This sports bra is so comfortable and gives the right amount of support. The color is the same as photographed. This top pairs nicely with their leggings. Good quality for what you pay. True to size, will order in other colors!

Love it
Size: X-Small, Color: Slate Grey
Absolutely love this and the matching shorts. I wore the set to a spin class where you sweat a lot and found it to be very breathable and moisture-wicking. The sports bra is very soft and true to size. I like the slate grey color a lot.
