Psychoanalysis is an attempt to examine a person's self-justifications. Hence it can be undertaken only with the patient's cooperation and can succeed only when the patient has something to gain by abandoning or modifying his system of self-justification.
Thomas Szasz

Any man who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined.
Samuel Goldwyn
Image
LSD is a catalyst or amplifier of mental processes. If properly used it could become something like the microscope or telescope of psychiatry.
Stanislav Grof
Image
Involuntary mental hospitalization is like slavery. Refining the standards for commitment is like prettifying the slave plantations. The problem is not how to improve commitment, but how to abolish it
Thomas Szasz

I regard myself as one of the most dangerous enemies of religion
Sigmund Freud
Image
I never read Freud. I've never been attracted to anything he has said, and I think he's started a lot of nonsense with psychiatry and that business. I don't think psychiatry can help or has helped anybody. I think it's a big fraud (pun not intended) on the public.
Bob Dylan

The State is the absolute reality and the individual himself has objective existence, truth and morality only in his capacity as a member of the State.

John Ralston Saul
Image
I am old enough to remember what it was like when the theories of Freud first escaped from the study and the clinic, and the great game of Hunt-the Complex began, to the entertainment and alarm of a war-shattered and disillusioned world.
Mary Butts
Image
I come from a liberal tradition. I'm Jewish. My dad was a liberal. What I've found is that people who see themselves as thoughtful, caring, educated and informed have swallowed psychiatry as the way.
Peter Breggin
Image
I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.
Antonin Artaud
Image
The difference between psychiatrists and other mentally disturbed people is something like the relationship between concave and convex madness.
Karl Kraus
Image
After all, Jews invented psychiatry to help other Jews become Gentiles.
Morton Feldman
Image
The language of psychiatry, which is a monologue by reason about madness, could only have come into existence in such a silence.
Michel Foucault
Image
My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.
Ben Barnes
Image
Psychoanalysis can unravel some of the forms of madness it remains a stranger to the sovereign enterprise of unreason. It can neither limit nor transcribe, nor most certainly explain, what is essential in this enterprise.
Michel Foucault
Image
Psychiatry enables us to correct our faults by confessing our parents' shortcomings.
Laurence J. Peter
Image
At bottom, antipsychiatry is still psychiatry. And it doesn't really address itself to women's problems.

Image
Psychoanalysts seem to be long on information and short on application.
Gene Fowler
Image
Conventional psychiatry has emphasized the genetic roots of psychosis based on the claim that twin and other studies show that schizophrenia is 80% heritable, which means that 80% of the cause is genetic.
