The Divided Self. An Existential Exploration of Normality and Insanity. The Phenomenology of Experience and the Paradise Bird.

The Divided Self. An Existential Exploration of Normality and Insanity. The Phenomenology of Experience and the Paradise Bird.

The Divided Self is the first book (1960) by R.D. Laing - a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, a cult figure of the 60s and 70s, a 'disturber of the peace,' and one of the founders of antipsychiatry. He not only calls... to 'learn from the schizophrenic,' who, in his understanding, becomes a 'guide' to other states of consciousness, closed to the 'everyday man,' but also organizes one of the world's first 'alternative clinics' for psychotic patients, where he achieves significant success in their treatment.

In The Divided Self, he attempts not only to present his views on psychiatry but also to allow the reader to feel the internal world of the schizophrenic, paradoxical and logical at the same time.

The Phenomenology of Experience and the Paradise Bird (1967) is a further development of the approaches and methods proposed in The Divided Self.
