ISBN: 0595312721 ISBN-13: 9780595312726 Publisher: iUniverse OUR PRICE: $14.20 Product Type: Paperback Published: February 2004 Annotation: Involuntary mental hospitalization is a political act, based on the misguided need of the state to control its "undesirable" or "deviant" citizens. It has no place in a free society, as it is a violation of the fundamental rights to personal freedom and individual liberty. It is the purpose of this book to present arguments in favor of personal freedom and to rekindle a dialogue over an often too easily accepted set of practices. If this work causes you to raise issues and objections or creates an emotional reaction, it has served its purpose. |
