Psychiatry

Not only psychiatry itself but also the values reflected in its statistical definition of “normalcy” serve to condition men to habitual, unthinking, conformist behavior.

Benjamin R. Barber, “Forced to be Free: An Illiberal Defense of Liberty,” Superman and Common Men (New York: 1971), pp. 68-69

Psychiatry

Since this is the age of science, not religion, psychiatrists are our rabbis, heroin is our pork, and the addict is the unclean person.

Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: 1973), p. 64

Psychiatry

I can't stand feeble, robotic psychiatrists. They give you false drugs and turn you into a zombie.

Ian Brady, as quoted in Evening Standard, Tue 25 June 2013, pp.1-4

Our researchers are exploring all possible solutions - from mathematical methodologies for adapting our systems to visionary, seemingly whacky, plans for future energy extraction.
