"My Holy of Holies is... freedom from power and falsehood, whatever the latter two express." With these words of Chekhov from a letter to the publisher, Professor Thomas Sas preceded the preface to the publication of the Russian translation of his fundamental work - "The Myth of Mental Illness." "Faith in Freedom: Practices of Psychiatry and the Principles of Libertarianism," written 43 years later, presents Thomas Sas's deepest consideration of the threats to personal freedom posed by the merger of psychiatry and the state. Why and how do the West's best minds, pondering political and economic freedom, lose their presence of mind to psychiatric patronising rhetoric? The answers to this question - examples from the classics of liberalism to the creators of the Austrian school of economics and the leading libertarians of our time - arm the average person with a fundamental understanding of the problems of everyday existence, which, strictly speaking, the reader is unlikely to find anywhere else. In addition to the general reader, the book will be useful to doctors, lawyers, and everyone who is interested in both the problems of economics and psychiatry, as well as the concepts of freedom and responsibility.
