A colossal failure
When psychiatrists embed themselves in court proceedings and testify on behalf of criminals, they assert that offenders are not responsible for what they have done, but are instead "victims” of so-called mental “disorders”.
What follows is a gradual erosion of the justice system.
Professor of psychiatry Thomas Szasz, said in his book The Myth of Mental Illness: “The introduction of psychiatric considerations into the administration of the criminal law - for example, the insanity plea and verdict, diagnoses of mental incompetence to stand trial, and so forth - corrupt the law and victimise the subject on whose behalf they are ostensibly employed.”
When psychiatry entered the justice system, it did so under the subterfuge that it understood man, that it knew not only what made man act as he did, but that it knew how to improve his lot: this was a lie.
Dr Szasz warned, “We have to restore the idea of responsibility, which is corrupted by psychiatry, by the idea that something happened to you when you were a child and therefore you are not responsible 30 years later.”
Psychiatry’s involvement in the justice system is a colossal failure that has come at great cost to the society.
The rehabilitation of criminals into useful members of society cannot occur if psychiatry continues to undermine the concept of personal responsibility.
Psychiatric influence must therefore be removed from our courts in order to restore effective justice.
