About This Item
New York: Pantheon Books, 1967. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Full blue cloth. Top edge purple. xv, 138 pp. Spine cocked, light chafing to upper corners. Ink ownership stamp. Dust jacket is lightly age toned, some light bumping to edges. Near fine. Reading The Politics of Experience is in itself an extraordinary experience. Here is an original and exciting work that takes the reader into the author's own mind with stunning honesty. Laing leads us to experience the kind of emotions often linked to the taking of drugs, showing insights and perceptions which have all too often relegated to the domain of madness. R.D. Laing is one of England's most impressive and original psychoanalysts, whose work on new methods of treating schizophrenia has won widespread praise. In this book, Dr. Laing takes us beyond teh usual theories about mental illness and alienation.

Dr. Laing wrote several books, including The Divided Self, Reason and Violence, The Politics of the Family, and The Voice of Experience . He died in 1989.

I bought the book in 1967. Only took 5 years to read it. On the back is a quote that will indicate the amazing journey you will go through: "If I could turn you on, if I could drive you out of your wretched mind, if I could tell you, I would let you know". He does.
