'''Thomas Stephen Szasz''' (in his native Hungarian Szász Tamas István) (April 15, 1920 - September 8, 2012) was a psychiatrist, academic, and prolific libertarian writer. After 1990 he was Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York. He was a well-known social critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, and of the [[social control]] aims of medicine in modern society, as well as of [[scientism]]. He was well known for his books ''The Myth of Mental Illness'' (1960) and ''The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement'' (1970), which set out some of the arguments with which he is most associated.<br />
<br />
His views on special treatment followed from [[classical liberalism|classical liberal]] roots which are based on the principles that each person has the right to bodily and mental [[self-ownership]] and the right to be free from violence from others, although he criticized the "[[Free World]]" as well as the [[Communist state]]s for its use of psychiatry and "drogophobia". He believed that suicide, the practice of [[medicine]], use and sale of drugs and sexual relations should be private, contractual, and outside of state jurisdiction.<br />
