Here is an original and exciting work that takes the reader into the author's own mind with stunning honesty. Laing leads us to experience the kind of emotions often linked to the taking of drugs, showing insights and perceptions which have all too often relegated to the domain of madness. R.D. Laing is one of England's most impressive and original psychoanalysts, whose work on new methods of treating schizophrenia has won widespread praise. In this book, Dr. Laing takes us beyond teh usual theories about mental illness and alienation. Seller Inventory # 011513

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001590030
