In his 1968 CBC Massey Lectures R. D. Laing discusses how and why we value society's notions of family over our own. Using concepts of schizophrenia, R.D. Laing demonstrates that we tend to invalidate the subjective and experiential and accept the proper societal view of what should occur within the family. A psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, Laing worked at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. His books include The Self and Others and The Politics of Experience.

Originally published in 1970*, Knots* consists of a series of dialogue-scenarios that can be read as poems or brief plays, each complete in itself. Each chapter describes a different kind of relationship: the "knots" of the title: bonds of love, dependency, uncertainty, jealousy. The dialogues could be those between lovers, between parents and children, between analysts and patients or all of these merged together. Each brilliantly demonstrates Laing's insights into the intricacies of huma...

Det spaltede selv er den skotske psykiater Ronald D. Laings (1927-1989) første og måske mest betydningsfulde bog, som han skrev i en alder af 28 år. Han redegør her for de personlige og teoretiske forudsætninger for at forstå den skizoide eller skizofrene oplevelse.Laings grundlæggende påstand: at man som psykiater begår et medmenneskeligt og eksistentielt forræderi, hvis man ikke insisterer på at forstå, men i stedet distancerer sig og tilstræber en objektiv beskrivelse o...

In the late 1950s the psychiatrist R.D.Laing and psychoanalyst Aaron Esterson spent five years interviewing eleven families of female patients diagnosed as 'schizophrenic'.

But it was the conclusions they drew from their research that caused such controversy: they suggest that s...

In the 1960s and 1970s, the radical and visionary ideas of R. D. Laing revolutionized thinking about psychiatric practice and the meaning of madness. His work, from The Divided Self to Knots, and his therapeutic community at Kingsley Hall, made him a household name. But after little more than a decade he faded from prominence as quickly as he had attained it.R.D.Laing and the Paths of Anti-Psychiatry re-examines Laing's work in the context of the anti-psyc...

This study, by a sociologist, provides the most rigorous and comprehensive review to appear so far of R. D. Laing's work and theoretical development. Martin Howarth-Williams considers that Laing's insights into such controversial issues as the divided self and the politics of the family are of an importance that transcends their basis in clinical psychiatry and that they have a special significance for sociology. Using the Progressive/Regressive Method of Jean-Paul Sartre, the author illum...

Hay dos principios jurídicos que procedentes de Roma llegan al derecho positivo: que el deudor, puesto de acuerdo con su acreedor, puede extinguir la obligación entregando un objeto diferente al convenido, y la responsabilidad patrimonial universal del deudor, para hacer frente a sus obligaciones contraídas, con tofos sub bienes presentes y futuros. Ambos principios quiebran con la dación necesaria aprobada por Justiniano en una constitución imperial. Aunque en el siglo VI d. C. solamente ...
