Laing - Edgar Z Friedenberg

R. D. Laing, psychiatrist and writer, questions the thought of our time almost as fundamentally as the founders of psychoanalysis and psychiatry challenged that of theirs. In a growing body of work that is becoming more widely known and more influential, Laing is probing more and more deeply into the foundations of modern, post-Freudian thinking about man and society, and the expression that we give to this thinking in such terms as 'madness' and 'sanity'. Edgar Z. Friedenberg, an American who is now professor in the Department of Education, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, is well known as an original writer about psychology and education, as an interpreter of the work of R. D. Laing, and as a forthright critic of many aspects of modern American life and the policies of recent American administrations. In Britain, he is best known for his distinguished contributions to the New York Review of Books. Soft cover Aged but general good condition
