Sociology: family & relationships; Psychology; Social, group or collective psychology

A brilliantly original book from one of the 20th century's most influentialpsychiatrists that goes beyond the usual theories of mental illness and alienation to make a convincing case for the ""madness of morality.""

R.D. Laing is at his most wickedly iconoclastic in this eloquent assault on conventional morality.

Compelling, unsettling, consistently absorbing, The Politics of Experience is a classic of genuine importance that will ""excite, enthrall, and disturb. No one who reads it will remain unaffected."" (Rollo May, Saturday Review)

Reviews for The Politics of Experience

""Stunning ... I am overpowered by the challenges he dares to make to what has become a rather conventional profession. I can only hope that he will be heard, and heard respectfully."" —Robert Coles, The New Republic
