"It is dishonest
to pretend that caring coercively for the mentally ill invariable
helps him, and that abstaining from such coercion is tantamount
to 'whithholding treatment' from him. ... All history teaches
us to beware of benefactors who deprive their beneficiaries of
liberty"
--Thomas
Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus
