Condition: Good. Some age toning to pages, clear interior, secure binding, moderate rubbing and edge wear to cover; light creasing to spine. Surface marks to back cover.
Composed of fragments journals, lectures, personal reflections, and philosophical meditations the book dissolves the boundary between memoir and psychological inquiry. Laing revisits his own early years, examining repression, memory, conception, foetal experience, and birth, as he speculates on the origins of human consciousness and the psychic scars of separation.
The result is a text at once disorderly and humane: a blend of confession and speculation that challenges what Laing saw as the heartless science of psychiatry, still blind to its own complicity in suffering. It is his most poetic and personal book rich, unsettling, and strangely tender.
