First sentence: Since the publication in 1961 of The Myth of Mental Illness, which served originally to thrust him into the center of the debate over the nature of "mental illness" and the proper role of psychiatry, the ideas of Dr. Thomas Szasz have enlightened, provoked, inspired, challenged, and angered millions of readers, not only those within psychiatry but also many outside its confines.
