Unorthodox to some, brilliantly original to others, The Politics of Experience goes beyond the usual theories of mental illness & alienation, making a convincing case for the 'madness of morality.'
Introduction

Persons and Experience
The Psychotherapeutic Experience
The Mystification of Experience
Us and Them
The Schizophrenic Experience
Transcendental Experience
A Ten-Day Voyage
The Bird of Paradise

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.
