In this book, he argues that his writings belong to neither psychiatry nor antipsychiatry. They stem from conceptual analysis, social-political criticism, and common sense. Num Pages: 208 pages, notes, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: MBS; MMH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 237 x 162 x 18. Weight in Grams: 434.
