It is a real treat to find the bold iconoclasm of Thomas Szasz alongside the dazzling satire of Karl Kraus.-- "Paul Roazen, author of Freud and His Followers" It is the great merit of Dr. Szasz's book that it shows-for the first time in such concentration-the role of Karl Kraus assigned to psychoanalysis in the performance of the 'black magic' that corrupted civilization.-- "Erich Heller, author of The Disinherited Mind" The compelling lucidity the author attributes to Kraus is found also in Szasz's words as the psychiatrist continues his crusade against involuntary psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.-- "Booklist" Presents Karl Kraus sharp criticism of psychoanalysis and psychiatry, emphasizing his defense of individual liberty and his opposition to what the author views as authoritarian.
