I want to amend a poorly-worded sentence I wrote in this post.

I wrote:

Szasz recognizes that what is called “mental illness” “… is a metaphor for disapproved thoughts, feelings, and behaviors,…”

I should have written:

Szasz recognizes that the expression “mental illness” “… is a metaphor for disapproved thoughts, feelings, and behaviors,…”

In his words (my emphasis),

The term “mental illness” refers to the undesirable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of persons.
