I’ve updated my books page today with some books by R D Laing. I’ve read two and am reading one. The two I have read are Knots and Sonnets. At the back of Sonnets are some thoughts in prose which I found helpful. The one I am reading is Sanity, Madness and the Family: Families of Schizophrenics, which is a book of case studies and transcriptions of taped interviews. I’m not sure if it is of its time or not, but it is very interesting. I have provided UK and USA Amazon links for each book.
R D Laing was a leading figure in the Antipsychiatry movement and established some houses in London as part of the Philadelphia Association which provides an alternative approach to mental distress.
