Challenges the belief-system of psychiatry and the brutal and disrespectful treatment frequently given to the "mentally ill". The author presents a critique of the medical model as applied to individuals undergoing spiritual or emotional crises.
This is a collection of seven true stories of individuals insulted and injured by the mental health system, individuals who then fought back, broke free, and rebuilt their lives. Madness, Heresy, and the Rumor of Angels is a work in the tradition of Thomas Szasz, R. D. Laing, and Erving Goffman, a challenge to the delusional belief-system known as psychiatry, and a protest against its appalling crimes.
