Laing was a Scottish psychiatrist and one of the most influential figures in 20th-century psychology and psychiatry, known for his explorations of existentialism, mental illness, and the nature of interpersonal relationships.
Self and Others examines how individuals experience themselves in relation to other people. It explores concepts like identity, alienation, communication, and how the self is shaped by relationships. Laing critiques conventional psychiatry, emphasizing the importance of subjective experience and the “phenomenology” of Human interaction.
The cover design, with the intersecting circles labeled Self and Others, is a simple but fitting visual metaphor for the book’s central theme : how the boundaries and overlaps between individuals create both understanding and conflict.
Book is in good condition. Binding tight. Normal discoloration and distress for age. Sun fading on the spine.
