Thomas Szasz (1920-2012)

He knew that "mental illness" is at best a metaphor, and he was misunderstood.

Tom Szasz and his wife and children lived down the street from us in Syracuse when I was growing up. We had a painting by his wife on our walls.

I don't really remember him, and I was too young to understand what he did, but I've always kept track of him. Thanks for posting this.
