具体描述

Presenting case studies of schizophrenic patients, Laing aims to make madness and the process of going mad comprehensible. He also offe rs an existential analysis of personal alienation. Dr. Laing's first purpose is to make madness and the process of going mad comprehensible. In this, with case studies of schizophrenic patients, he succeeds brilliantly, but he does more: through a vision of sanity and madness as 'degrees of conjunction and disjunction between two persons where the one is sane by common consent' he offers a rich existential analysis of personal alienation.

The outsider, estranged from himself and society, cannot experience either himself or others as 'real'. He invents a false self and with it he confronts both the outside world and his own despair. The disintegration of his real self keeps pace with the growing unreality of his false self until, in the extremes of schizophrenic breakdown, the whole personality disintegrates.

作者简介

R.D. Laing, one of the best-known psychiatrists of modern times, was born in Glasgow in 1927 and graduated from Glasgow University as a doctor of medicine. In the 1960's he developed the argument that there may be a benefit in allowing acute mental and emotional turmoil in depth to go on and have its way, and that the outcome of such turmoil could have a positive value. He was the first to put such a stand to the test by establishing, with others, residences where persons could live and be free to let happen what will when the acute psychosis is given free rein, or where, at the very least, they receive no treatment they do not want. This work with the Philadelphia Association since 1964, together with his focus on disturbed and disturbing types of interaction in institutions, groups and families, has been both influential and continually controversial. R.D. Laing's writings range from books on social theory to verse, as well as numerous articles and reviews in scientific journals and the popular press. His publications are: The Divided Self, Self and Others, Interpersonal Perception (with H. Phillipson and A. Robin Lee), Reason and Violence (introduced by Jean-Paul Sartre), Sanity, Madness and the Family (with A. Esterson), The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise, Knots, The Politics of the Family, The Facts of Life, Do You Love Me?, Conversations with Children, Sonnets, The Voice of Experience and Wisdom, Madness and Folly. R.D. Laing died in 1989. Anthony Clare, writing in the Guardian, said of him: "His major achievement was that he dragged the isolated and neglected inner world of the severely psychotic individual out of the back ward of the large gloomy mental hospital and on to the front pages of influential newspapers, journals and literary magazines... Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing."

读后感

这是一本对我影响很深的书，作者的才华与慈悲永远铭记在我的心里。 这本书是四年前我在网上看到的电子版，那时候我醉心于心理学，我觉的作者对人内在发现的成就的学术成就不亚于弗洛伊德。而人格成就更高。  

这是一本对我影响很深的书，作者的才华与慈悲永远铭记在我的心里。 这本书是四年前我在网上看到的电子版，那时候我醉心于心理学，我觉的作者对人内在发现的成就的学术成就不亚于弗洛伊德。而人格成就更高。  

对我扰动很大的一本书，先简单写几句吧。 第一次读的时候阻抗很大，激起了担心自己过于努力地去理解严重精神病患者有可能让自己变得精神分裂的恐惧。这种阻抗使我对书中的分析只能以从外面向内看的方式进行理论上的理解。这种恐惧进入我的梦，然后慢慢地被修通。这种修通本身...  

在对存在性不安个体焦虑模式进行描述和阐释之前，可以先从文学的角度来体会其中的一些精神特质。建议去读卡夫卡的作品，卡夫卡作品中描述的人的状态近乎就是存在性不安的鲜明例证。 莱因写到：“如果比较莎士比亚和卡夫卡对人之痛苦及普遍异化的揭露（而不考虑他们各自的天才）...  

用户评价

常人：(self/body)⇆other；病人：self⇆(body/other)。 很欣赏Laing大胆的分析和理论构建。不知道一个真正的病人读他的分析作何感想。贴切么？合理么？我总觉得一两个个例来支持理论是不合适的。往好了说，也许医生在大量接触病人过程中培养出了某种手到擒来的intuitions？往坏了说，用理论去套经验是以蠡测海——概念的匮乏和经验的多样性是冲突的，psychotic experiences may not be generalized or theorized?
