Szasz was ahead of his time. I cited his work in a paper I wrote about schizophrenic language manipulation.

Did you publish it?

An adult who uses a child for his sexual gratification is a kind of rapist: He is guilty of the crime of assault. Such a person is a criminal, not a patient. Dr Szasz

In early 1962 Walker ran for Governor of Texas, and lost to John Connally. Later that year, Walker was arrested for leading riots at Ole Miss in protest against admitting a black student, James Meredith, into the then-all-white college. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ordered Walker committed to an insane asylum for a 90-day evaluation in response to the riots, but psychiatrist Thomas Szasz protested and Walker was released in five days.

Using mental illness to confine people is nothing new. But for R.F. Kennedy to do this is a disturbing thing, is it being done today?

So sad. He sent me an email a couple years ago commending an article I wrote. I was giddy
