Mental Illness or Irresponsablity?

"Two prominent psychiatrists, Glasser and Harrington, did a study of patients in a mental
hospital, and came up with the following opinion:

‘There is no such thing as mental illness. These are people who have mastered the art of irresponsibility. They pass the buck to other people. There is a moment when they have an opportunity to choose their course of behavior. Some people are childlike, never having grown up. They must be taught to assume responsibility for their own behavior. When they start a tantrum, command them STOP THAT! YOU’RE ACTING CRAZY!’

"Over 70% of the patients treated by Glasser and Harrington were able to be released from
the mental hospital and return to a normal life within 17 months of treatment.

They had been conditioned to assume responsibility for their own actions and reactions."
