RONALD DAVID ("R. D.") LAING (1927-1989) was a Scottish psychiatrist who wrote extensively on mental illness – in particular, the experience of psychosis – and became a controversial figure in the "counter-culture" of the 1960s. Though associated in the public mind with the anti-psychiatry movement, he rejected the label and never denied the value of treating mental distress. Politically, he was regarded as a thinker of the New Left. Laing's views on the causes and treatment of psychopathological phenomena were influenced by his study of existential philosophy and ran counter to the chemical and electroshock methods that had become psychiatric orthodoxy. He regarded schizophrenia as "a theory not a fact", and was revolutionary in valuing the content of psychotic behaviour and speech as a valid expression of distress, albeit wrapped in an enigmatic language of personal symbolism which is meaningful only from within their situation. In his groundbreaking first book, THE DIVIDED SELF (1960), Laing's intention was to "make madness, and the process of madness, comprehensible". He argued that mental illness was often a reaction to an individual's inability to cope with family and social pressures. He further analyzed the inner dynamics of schizophrenia in SELF AND OTHERS (1961) and, with Aaron Esterson, SANITY, MADNESS, AND THE FAMILY (1964), a group of studies of people whose mental illnesses he viewed as being induced by their relationships with other family members. He went on to explore the ethics of psychology and challenge many of the generally-accepted values of the psychiatric profession. Although he questioned the use of medication such as antipsychotics in psychiatry, his attitude to recreational drugs was quite different; privately, he advocated an anarchy of experience. THE POLITICS OF EXPERIENCE, Laing's best-known book, and the visionary BIRD OF PARADISE (1967) were partly inspired by his extensive experimentation with LSD. They show how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on people 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 "us and them" thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. His autobiography, WISDOM, MADNESS, AND FOLLY: THE MAKING OF A PSYCHIATRIST, appeared in 1985. Laing also authored several volumes of poetry, including KNOTS (1970) and SONNETS (1979). 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."
