Description
Description:
Szasz considers the role of responsibility in religion, civil and criminal law, medicine and the mental health professions; the differences among existential responsibility, moral blameworthiness and legal accountability; that connections between (mental) competence and responsibility; and relates all of the above to problems in psychotherapeutic theory and practice.
Educational Objectives:
- To articulate the concept of responsibility as intrinsic to viewing persons as moral agents.
- To relate our understanding of the nature of responsibility to our understanding of the nature of the therapeutic enterprise and reconcile the contradictions between them.
