Did You Used to be R.D. Laing?

T279550562
After Freud and Jung comes the radical Scottish psychiatrist, R.D. Laing - pop-shrink, rebel, yogi, philosopher king, and healer, maybe. He rose to fame spectacularly in the 60's, was more difficult to get hold of than Mick Jagger, denounced normality for being mad, opened safe-houses where schizophrenics could voyage safely through their madness, retreated to India to meditate, and disappeared with the 70's. Mike Maran retells the life and work of R.D. Laing - a divine madness of drink and drugs, and a unique empathy with those who suffer mental distress.
