R. D. Laing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Laing was born in the Govanhill district of Glasgow, Scotland and went on to study medicine at Glasgow University. Laing argued that the strange behaviour and seemingly confused speech of people undergoing a psychotic episode were ultimately understandable as an attempt to communicate worries and concerns, often in situations where this was not possible or not permitted. Laing's most enduring and practically beneficial contribution to mental health, however, is probably his co-founding and chairmanship in 1964 of the Philadelphia Association and the wider movement of therapeutic communities, adopted in more effective and less confrontational psychiatric settings. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/R._D._Laing   (883 words)

Voluntarism, Psychiatry and the Social Entrepreneur: R D Laing and the Business of the Sixties Laing continues to be closely associated with the 1960's counter-culture, and over the same period was involved in a range of entrepreneurial activities, from business planning and fund raising through to company formation. Although Laing's network included colleagues who were members of the Tavistock Institute, his key associates constituted a small group of psychiatrists and social care workers with no official role or status within the Tavistock organisation, other than their active interest in Laing's research. For Laing in particular, disorders such as schizophrenia were intelligible in social and environmental terms, and as such called for the creation of new therapeutic communities that were fully independent of the mainstream hospital system. www.ehs.org.uk /othercontent/carthy.htm   (3139 words)
