Introduction by Marshall McLuhan
1968 First Printing Ballantine Books, N.Y.Pocketbook in original decorated wraps. xi -190 pp. A NEAR FINE out of print pocketbook of this anti-authoritarian classic. *** Dr. Laing challenged society’s assumptions about normality and mental illness. He raised questions about the nature of family, social contexts, and conventions that embody unseen violence. Dr. Laing questions the elements that produce madness in a way that is astonishing. This collection of essays is one of the most eminent and unforgettable books about Psychology and authority to come out of the sixties.
