Defining medicalization as the perception of nonmedical conditions as medical problems and nondiseases as diseases, Thomas Szasz has devoted much of his career to exposing the dangers of medicalizing the conditions of some who simply refuse to conform to society's expectations. Szasz argues that modern psychiatry's tireless ambition to explain the human condition has led to the treatment of life's difficulties and oddities as clinical illnesses rather than as humanity revealed in its fullness. chronicles the author's long campaign against the orthodoxies of psychiatry. From Medicine to Magic to Medicine as Social Control, the book delves into the fascinating history of medicalization, including The Discovery of Drug Addiction, Persecutions for Witchcraft and Drugcraft, and Food Abuse and Foodaholism. In a society that has little tolerance for those who live outside its rules, Dr. Szasz's writings are as relevant today as ever.Binding Type: Paperback

Why Struggle? It’s as easy as 1 , 2 , 3
Color: 14AWG-2 Lead
Love how simple the harness is! Bought this for a set of ditch lights for a 99 4runner. I love how much wire they give to let you run the wire to where it needs to go. 1st time buying and will come back for more in the future.

Quality but short.
Color: 14AWG-2 Lead
Quality built harness but I wish they would make the switch wireing long enough to go from the dash to the battery area on film size vehicles.

Great product
Color: 14AWG-2 Lead
A lot cheaper than getting wire, a relay, connectors, fuse, etc. Great durability, like the extra coating over the wires. Mounted the relays in a spot where they get totally soaked. They were sitting in water when I tested them out they works great so I’d say water resistant is an understatement. Overall great product.

Makes wiring lights faster and cleaner
Color: 14AWG-2 Lead
Harness is well insulated and much easier to use than running wires separately. I’ve installed 2 kits and they work well. Greatly simplifies wiring auxiliary lights on a vehicle.
