Description
In The Politics of Experience and the visionary Bird of Paradise , R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential. He throws into question the notion of normality, examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and us and them thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. We are bemused and crazed creatures, Laing suggests. This outline of a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions.
Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing Anthony Clare, the Guardian.
