More about the book

The narrative explores the life of radical psychiatrist R. D. Laing, who captivated audiences in the 1960s and 1970s with his unconventional views on madness and the importance of authenticity. Laing's rise to fame paralleled cultural upheavals, positioning him as a countercultural icon. However, his subsequent fall from grace and discreditation in the medical community led to a decline in his influence. Despite this, the book examines Laing's enduring message and relevance, revealing insights that resonate even today amidst the backdrop of his tumultuous career.
