Outlaw Psychiatric Coercion

Outlaw Psychiatric Coercion is a challenging and compassionate exploration of freedom, ethics, and human rights in the age of modern psychiatry. It asks whether care can remain moral when it becomes compulsory, and whether genuine healing is possible without consent. Drawing inspiration from psychiatrist Thomas Szasz and other defenders of liberty, the book argues that the right to think, feel, and choose must include the right to refuse treatment. It examines how laws and institutions built on good intentions can still produce suffering when they replace persuasion and understanding with force. Written for readers who value both compassion and autonomy, this book offers a vision of a society where help is given through reason, empathy, and respect for personal choice. It calls for reform not through rebellion, but through truth, dialogue, and voluntary cooperation. Disclaimer This book discusses psychiatric coercion, suicide laws, and related human-rights questions. It does not promote self-harm or endorse suicide. Its intent is to advocate for non-coercive care, compassion, and informed consent. Readers who feel distress are encouraged to seek understanding and connection from trusted individuals or non-coercive sources of support.
