First published in 1960, The Divided Self by Scottish psychiatrist
R.D. Laing (1927 - 1989) set out to explain psychosis as an
ordinary and understandable human experience. Laing's insight was
absolutely revolutionary in its humane approach. One commentator
described it as 'that particular touch of genius which causes one
to say "Yes, I have always known that; why have I never thought of
it before?". Collected in these pages are writings critically
appraising Laing's life, work, frailties, brilliance, and his wide
and varied influences over the last half century. You will find
transcripts, memoirs, newly commissioned articles and a few
previously published papers. Contributions have come from
colleagues, friends and clients, as well as people who never knew
him personally, yet deeply appreciate his work. Each is different
in tone and character. Each captures something unique about Laing
and his work. R.D. Laing was famous for his empathic perception,
sagacious intellect and wisdom of the heart, as well as his
rebelliousness and falling from grace. In reading this book you may
be made to rethink some of your assumptions. We hope that you will
find more than a little inspiration.
