Abstract
This symposium abounds with learning and insight, but one should not overlook the fact that its purposes and its effect are revolution. Institutional confinement of the "mentally ill" in America is a massive social failure and a festering evil. These authors lawyers, social scientists, scholars, psychiatrists, and students have a target in their sights, and they are not out primarily to analyze the target; they are out to destroy it.
