Tyranny for 'Good' of Victims

Of all the tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.  To be cured against one's will and of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level with those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles and domestic animals.

C.S. Lewis, cited by Dr. Tana Dineen, Manufacturing Victims: What the Psychology Industry is Doing to People, pg.67
