Liberation by Oppression: A Comparative Study of Slavery and Psychiatry (ISBN 978-0-7658-0145-6) is a 2002 work on, and a critique of, psychiatry by Thomas Stephen Szasz. The text compares the justification of psychiatry with the justification of slavery in the United States – both necessarily denying the subject's right to personhood.
