He was brilliant. He was complicated. He made an important contributions. He impressed me and think of him often.
Terrible darts player though. I suppose he didn't really try.
In my opinion, Laing's controversial approach, dedication to treating Mental illness is still relevant today. From my understanding, of his monumental experience of treating Mental illness, his forward-thinking regarding what's normal for a human being.Is on par with a Mindfulness approach to living authenic today.
I agree and As someone that’s dealt with psychiatrists and had a lot of experience with mental illnesses, I think laings work, particularly his approach to patients is severely under-utilised to this very day, although I see that it is widespread in the autism sector, in fact I would go as far to say that it is the predominant form of treatment with autism, because there’s not much else that works, apart from new forms of aba therapy which have a strong grounding in skinners behaviourism.
But yes Laing was a maverick pioneer, the type of figure that is in desperately short supply in the field of psychiatry, I wish there were more like him.
@@Vgallo I like to join in the agreement and appreciation of Dr. Laing. Especially the treatment of peaple with psychotic (formerly known as schizophrene) periods the practice in medicine could benefit a lot. And seemingly a nice person
Working in mh I have come across many seriously ill folk who do not like their psychiatrists, a lot for good reason.
Many would benefit from knowing someone like Laing who comes across as a decent human being first and foremost
Great stuff, I wish ThamesTV would post the whole interview.
Remember the 2017 film Mad to Be Normal, actor David Tennant played the part of R.D. Liang.
RIP Ronald Liang.🌹

Hope you found some spare time to sit down, relax and enjoy. Thanks for your feedback.
The last few minutes of the interview are the most relevant for today.
Absolutely. If only Ronald Laing were around today to witness what is happening now.
Just getting interesting lol! Love Ronnie
I need him! His books are not enough. I need his advice because Im in charge for 14 schizophrenic persons. And the normal concepts do no good. Never met him but I miss him.
Well he's not around so use his theories or do a phd and update them for practice.
@@orangewarm1I know. And its not like Lego manual you know. But thanks anywqy
I knew him and worked with him. I miss him too!
Yes He was one in a million!
Yes, read ALL his books, especially Self and Others.
These two are made for each other, she made a fair point at 10:20 especially as there were boys being falsely diagnosed with ADHD afterwards just so rogue doctors could get rolling contracts of care 'till kid was 16 and perhaps even more sinister reasons.
Quality TV.
The Revealing Science of R.D. Lang

Nice one, thank you.
Good man, drinking himself to death and putting ole Gay Byrne in his place on the Late Late Show.😂
Seeing his temper featured in some videos while drunk was never enjoyable.
Geeze - he was a 'nice' boy !
He let the cat out of the bag with that last comment
Yes but he worked with human engineering, the Tavistock
How so?
Am I here because of serial experiments lain
Yes
No way
Whose on 1st today?
R.D Laing?
Laing and szasz ...
I met Laing in 1984 ... he was then an alcoholic and was more concerned with extracting money from his patients than he was in their well-being. Discussing one's problems with a psychiatrist who is drunk is a rather bizarre experience. I also knew David Cooper (Laing's analyst) .He was due to give a talk to a gathering of senior Swedish psychiatrists ... he appeared with a bottle of whisky .. which he waved at them and declared: "THIS IS ALL YOU NEED!" He actually ended up being sectioned for a few months,
Did ye, aye?
nuna
bs
Laing è un genio e a te invece piace infangare le persone
@@patrizia4310 He was a brilliant man but his alcohol intake is quite well documented
I now have well over four decades experience as an independent thinker in developmental, educational and existential psychology resulting in many of the same conclusions as this man.
When compared to his contemporaries, he was well ahead of his time. This is less of an accreditation to him as it is an indictment of academia both of then and now.
I have found myself, over my intellectual career, in a similar situation to this man, with, however, several key and decisive distinctions.
Unlike yesteryear, today a model of what constitutes authentic psychological health actually exists, of which I am the author and modeller.
The question, therefore, is, what is the basis for my assertion?
That is for the reader to find out.
@Fire Starter presumably, your response requires the Mammoth intellect of Alan Turing.
Looks too much like Hannibal Lecter
