R.D. Laing, author of The Divided Self and Knots, was the best-known and most influential psychiatrist of modern times. In this remarkable biography, the only one to be written by a close relative, Laing's son tells the story of his father's life and examines the foundations of his pioneering and unorthodox work on madness and the family. Adrian Laing is the second of R.D. Laing's six sons and is a lawyer and author. He lives in London.
