ISBN10: 0275971961, ISBN13: 9780275971960, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, Westport] Hardcover First Edition Hardcover. In recent decades, American medicine has become increasingly politicized and politics has become increasingly medicalized. Behaviors previously seen as virtuous or wicked, wise or unwise are now dealt with as healthy or sick--unwanted behaviors to be controlled as if they were health issues. The modern penchant for transforming human problems into diseases and judicial sanctions into treatments, replacing the rule of law with the rule of medical discretion, leads to the creation of a type of government social critic Thomas Szasz calls pharmacracy.Medicalizing troublesome behaviors and social problems is tempting to voters and politicians alike: it panders to the people by promising to satisfy their needs for dependence on medical authority and offers easy self-aggrandizement to politicians as the dispensers of more and better health care. Thus, the people gain a convenient scapegoat, enabling them to avoid personal responsibility for their behavior. The government gains a rationale for endless and politically expedient wars against social problems defined as public health emergencies. The health care system gains prestige, funding, and bureaucratic power that only an alliance with the political system can provide.However, Szasz warns, the creeping substitution of pharmacracy for democracy--private medical concerns increasingly perceived as re ...
Hardback. New. This work highlights how the introduction of third-party payers into medicine has altered the relationship between doctor and patient. It explains why patients are increasingly dissatisfied with the medical care they receive, and doctors with the way they have to practice medicine. ISBN 0275971961 9780275971960 [GB]

Behaviors previously seen as virtuous or wicked, wise or unwise are now dealt with as "healthy" or "sick"--unwanted behaviors to be controlled as if they were public health issues. The modern penchant for transforming human problems into "diseases" and judicial sanctions into "treatments, " replacing the rule of law with the rule of medical discretion, leads to a type of government social critic Thomas Szasz calls "pharmacracy." This insidious political development is eroding our personal liberties while distorting our approach to both health care and politics. --Publishers Weekly: "Nearly 40 years after psychiatrist Karl Menninger called the medical profession on the carpe ...
