Description:
In his final years, R. D. Laing (1927-1989) was arriving at lectures addled with hashish and brandy. Reflecting on this sad spectacle, one is apt to forget that Laing was one of the most influential and controversial psychiatrists of the twentieth century, whose books sold millions of copies in more than twenty languages. Even at the height of his power, however. Ronald Laing was a mystery, a man of many contradictions, and it is this mystery that The Wing of Madness explores, searching out both the remarkable story of Laing's life and the lasting significance of his work.
