Review:
"Dr. Laing is saying something very important indeed. . . . This is a truly humanist approach."
--Philip toynbee in the Observer
"It is a study that makes all other works I have read on schizophrenia seem fragmentary. . . . The author brings, through his vision and perception, that particular touch of genius which causes one to say Yes, I have always known that, why have I never thought of it before?'"
--Journal of Analytical Psychology

The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Aceptable. : En 'The Divided Self', R.D. Laing explora la escisión de la experiencia en individuos, examinando la relación entre la cordura y la locura desde una perspectiva existencial. A través de estudios de caso de pacientes esquizofrénicos, Laing busca hacer comprensible la locura, argumentando que la psicosis no es simplemente una condición médica, sino una consecuencia de la división interna entre la identidad auténtica y la 'falsa' identidad que presentamos al mundo. Este análisis profundo ofrece una visión rica de la alienación personal y la desintegración de la personalidad. EAN: 9780140207347 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Filosofía Título: The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness Autor: R. D. Laing Editorial: Penguin Books Idioma: en Páginas: 224 Formato: tapa blanda. Seller Inventory # Happ-2026-03-18-483691a1

Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. The Divided Self, R. D. Laing's groundbreaking exploration of the nature of madness, illuminated the nature of mental illness and made the mysteries of the mind comprehensible to a wide audience. First published in 1960, this watershed work aimed to make madness comprehensible, and in doing so revolutionized the way we perceive mental illness. Using case studies of patients he had worked with, psychiatrist R. D. Laing argued that psychosis is not a medical condition, but an outcome of the 'divided self', or the tension between the two personas within us: one our authentic, private identity, and the other the false, 'sane' self that we present to the world. Laing's radical approach to insanity offered a rich existential analysis of personal alienation and made him a cult figure in the 1960s, yet his work was most significant for its humane attitude, which put the patient back at the centre of treatment. Small tear to back cover. 292 pages. Seller Inventory # 1590152
