I talk with Jeffery Schaler about his new book, Thomas Szasz: The Man and His Ideas (http://amzn.to/2wvEHyO).

Thomas Szasz was an iconoclastic psychiatrist who did not believe in the concept of mental illness. He saw emotional distress as, "problems of living". We talk about Szasz and what he meant when he wrote that he did not believe in "mental illness".
