Hi npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 ,
The following is a poem containing the titles of all Thomas Szasz books and also some of Szasz's ideas. I submit this poem, entitled "T.S.S. - Truth's Sweet Sound", both for your further edification and also as an opportunity for you to make any corrections, amendments, or additions, as you deem appropriate.
T.S.S. - Truth's Sweet Sound, part 2 of 5
"It's our intent to save," protests this pseudo-medical profession,
(just like the slave's) the madman's Liberation By Oppression.
The "prescription" is Coercion As Cure for that most disturbing
misbehavior that some other folks are having trouble curbing.
A quick peek inside their Lexicon Of Lunacy is revealing:
They claim "it's for the patient's good" to hurt instead of healing!
In the name game they're the champions, inventive and prolific,
and this game's named "diagnosis"; doesn't that sound scientific?
They say good behavior's healthy, bad behavior's a disease,
and excessive bad behavior's an addiction, if you please!
If you're focused they'll profess that you "obsess compulsively";
if you're not, why then, they'll diagnose a "case" of "ADD."
It’s disease that we prevent and it is crime that we prohibit,
and deciding which response we make starts with the name we give it.
Call expressing one’s own death wish "suicidal ideation,"
and they symptomize a thought - by psychiatric imputation.
The "prevention" of self-killing is what he calls Suicide
Prohibition and, to clarify what doctors have belied,
he points out that, when demedicalizing social power games,
we should start with truthful language: Call things by their proper names.
Sometimes doctor and his patient will use language to deceive;
the semantic antics make it hard to know whom to believe.
For to claim "My Madness Saved Me" all depends on how you spin it;
as manipulative strategy, there's certainly method in it.
