Book Description:

The modern penchant for transforming human problems into ""diseases"" and judicial sanctions into ""treatments,"" replacing the rule of law with the rule of medical discretion, leads to a type of government social critic Thomas Szasz calls ""pharmacracy."" He warns that the creeping substitution of democracy for pharmacracyprivate personal concerns increasingly perceived as requiring a medical-political responseinexorably erodes personal freedom and dignity.
