Question

a. isla fischer
b. john waller
c. marcia cross
d. thomas szasz?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is d. Thomas Szasz.

Explanation:

Thomas Szasz was a Hungarian-American psychoanalist. He stated that mental illnesses should not be treated as phyisical ones; instead, they are a reflection of human problems. He argued there was no biological proof to reveal the presence of a mental disorder.

Although he's been referred to as an advocator of antypsychiatry, he denied this and would rather call himself as being "anti-coercive psychiatry".
