FIRST EDITION. Half title. Orig. green cloth. Orange & black pictorial d.w., unclipped; edges v. sl. rubbed but a lovely copy. Signed 'Ronald Laing' on leading f.e.p. Scarce, especially so signed. Laing's first book, in which he posits that mental illness is a result of a fragmentation between the 'self' as we see it and the 'self' others project on to us. It also introduces the idea that 'madness' can be a response to an environment, rather than merely a discrete event in the brain. It revolutionised public understanding of mental illness, and as such is one of the most important works of the twentieth century.
