Critical reflections on psychiatry: could Thomas Szasz still have relevance in modern medical practice?
The writings of Thomas Szasz Dr Benning nicely summarises some of the major conceptual errors in the writings of the late Dr Thomas Szasz. Dr Szasz, who was one of my professors during residency, had important things to say about protecting the civil liberties of people with mental illness. However, his view of schizophrenia as a self-inflicted form of lying has done great injury to those who h...
متن کاملSzasz and His Interlocutors: Reconsidering Thomas Szasz’s “Myth of Mental Illness” Thesis
It is a matter of some irony that psychiatry’s most trenchant critic for over four decades is himself a psychiatrist. I refer to Thomas S. Szasz. Szasz’s core thesis may be succinctly rendered: mental illness is a “myth”, a “metaphor” which serves only to obscure the social and ethical “problems in living” we face as human beings. This paper reconsiders the conceptual bases of Szasz’s assault o...
متن کاملNo such thing as mental illness? Critical reflections on the major ideas and legacy of Thomas Szasz
Enfant terrible of psychiatry and widely known as one of its most indefatigable as well as iconoclastic critics, Thomas Szasz (1961-2012) had a prolific writing career that extended some 51 years beyond the publication of his first book, The Myth of Mental Illness, in 1961. This editorial identifies and critically discusses three major themes in Szasz's writings: his contention that there is no...
متن کاملOn Modified Szasz–mirakyan Operators
We consider certain modifications of Szasz-Mirakyan operators Sn in exponential weighted spaces Cq of continuous functions and operators Tn in L p spaces of Lebesgue integrable functions. We give theorems on approximation properties of these operators. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 41A36
متن کاملSzasz Analytic Functions and Noncompact Toric Varieties
We relate the classical approximations SN (f)(x) of O.Szasz to the Bergman kernel of the Bargmann-Fock space H(C, e |z| 2 dm(z)). This relation is the analogue for compact toric varieties of the relation between Bernstein polynomials and Bergman kernels on compact toric Kähler varieties of S. Zelditch. The relation is then used to generalize the Szasz analytic functions to any infinite volume t...
