Sanity Through Suffocation
Abstract
The most recent fashions in “psychiatric treatment” might be dismissed as absurd of ridiculous were they not so real and terrifying. The following report shows that, by failing to prosecute its perpetrators as criminals, the medical and psychiatric professions, in capitalist and Communist countries alike, have become the sworn enemies of individual freedom and dignity. It remains only for the general public to more clearly support such quasi-medical methods of social control, and the Age of Madness will perhaps have reached its zenith.
