Description

Description:

Szasz examines the role of responsibility in religion, civil and criminal law, medicine, and the mental health professions; the distinctions between existential responsibility, moral blameworthiness, and legal accountability; the links between (mental) competence and responsibility; and how all of this relates to issues in psychotherapeutic theory and practice.

 

Objectives of Education:

To express the notion of responsibility as inherent in recognizing people as moral agents.
To reconcile the tensions between our knowledge of the nature of responsibility and our understanding of the therapeutic effort.
