Psychiatry

Nurse Ratched: If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest written by Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben, adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey.

Psychiatry

Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: 1973), p. 102

Psychiatry

“Drapetomania”—that is the name of the mental disorder that was contrived by Samuel Cartwright, who said that Blacks had a mental disorder if they had a desire to run away from slavery.
