THE POLITICS OF EXPERIENCE AND THE BIRD OF PARADISE

In â€˜The Politics of Experienceâ€™ and the visionary â€˜Bird of Paradiseâ€™, R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential. He throws into question the notion of normality, examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and â€˜us and themâ€™ thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. â€˜We are bemused and crazed creatures,â€™ Laing suggests. This outline of â€˜a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of manâ€™ represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions. â€˜Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laingâ€™ Anthony Clare, the Guardian.
