Points out many inconsistencies regarding the Donaldson case
In his book, Psychiatric Slavery, Szasz makes the comparison of involuntary institutionalization and slavery. The book primarily discusses the case of Kenneth Donaldson, which was a Supreme Court case on the right of treatment. The book discusses the various briefs of the case, elaborating on various issues.

Donaldson was institutionalized because he told his parents that the neighbors were trying to poison him. Although his parents sent him to an asylum for this, Donaldson maintained he was not mentally disturbed.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) assisted Donaldson in attempting to gain his freedom, but in a bizarre way. Although Donaldson wanted nothing to do with medication and shock therapy, he sued the hospital director because he was not receiving treatment. From the data presented, I got the impression that the ACLU used Donaldson for their own ends, which was to strengthen the power of psychiatry.

Good Tales, but BORE ME ALREADY!
Hey I love to read, and there is no way I like to spend my afternoons - this book was given to me or I would have returned it long ago. I was bored from about the second page . . . there are a lot of topics in the book but they are in the DRYEST way put forward. I never finished the book - bu I did flip through the pages and found they where filled with some of the best stories.
