Brand: R. D. Laing

R. D. Laing

In \u2018The Politics of Experience\u2019 and the visionary \u2018Bird of Paradise\u2019, 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 \u2018us and them\u2019 thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. \u2018We are bemused and crazed creatures,\u2019 Laing suggests. This outline of \u2018a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man\u2019 represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions.\n\u2018Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing\u2019 Anthony Clare, the Guardian.\n\nThe Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.;
