Anti-psychiatry, as represented by authors such as R.D. Laing and Thomas Szasz, was an anti-authoritarian, popular, even romantic, attack on psychiatrists' use of psychiatric diagnosis, drug and ECT treatment and involuntary hospitalisation. Sufficient time has elapsed to restate the critique of psychiatry. Critical psychiatry represents an advance over the polarisation in the debate engendered by anti-psychiatry. This book resolutely encourages critical thinking about psychiatry and is based on critical theory about the basis of psychiatry. It is a multi-authored text and many of the contributors are members of the Critical Psychiatry Network (www.criticalpsychiatry.co.uk) . Their essential message is that psychiatry can be practised without the justification of postulating brain pathology as the basis for mental illness.
