About this product

Product Information

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.

Seller did this right: response to offers + accepting reasonable offers. The description , (Used book clean few pages writing Very rare) & pics provided, however, were not truly indicative of the condition of the item. Listed as 'Good', meaning, "no highlighting of text, no writing in margins. No missing pages" but 50+ HEAVILY highlighted pages & Presentation Page torn out. Not seeking refund/still want the Bible and price was still fair regardless. Would buy again but only after questions!
