Debating asylum psychiatry: Did Szasz misrepresent the Basaglian psychiatric project?
Francisco Balbuena RiveraPublished in: The International journal of social psychiatry (2023)
As I will show here, Szasz misconstrued the Basaglian project for a new kind of psychiatry, and for the transformation and closure of the old asylum system. This erroneous view of Basaglia by Szasz is partly associated with his idea that Basaglia and other antipsychiatrists were supported by the modern socialist-therapeutic State.
