Self and Others by R.D. Laing | Second Revised Edition

Self and Others: Second Revised Edition
R.D. Laing
Self and Others is a psychological study by R. D. Laing, first published in 1961. It was re-issued in a second edition, which was extensively revised, without being changed in any fundamental way.

Ronald David Laing was a Scottish psychiatrist who wrote extensively on mental illness in particular, the subjective experience of psychosis. Laing's views on the causes and treatment of serious mental dysfunction, greatly influenced by existential philosophy, ran counter to the psychiatric orthodoxy of the day by taking the expressed feelings of the individual patient or client as valid descriptions of lived experience rather than simply as symptoms of some separate or underlying disorder.

Laing was associated with the anti-psychiatry movement although he rejected the label.
