"The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry (Oxford Handbooks in Philosophy)"
has recently been published and was on-sale in Foyle's (Medicine Section) today - Tuesday 10th December 2013.
It mentions "guru" Szasz in the index several times which is practically miraculous to me!

"Mental Illness" is SELF-EVIDENTLY a bankrupt concept.
This book is also self-evidently pointless and bankrupt therefore.

The "shrink" or equivalent of the future will - in my ideal version of the future - simply need or have "The Handbook to Filosofy" and nothing else!.....
I would compare it to the title "Philosophy and Bullying and Poisoning" or; "Philosophy and Mass Murder"; or "Philosophy and Tarot Cards"...... or.......
