This was a transcript of a radio broadcast, which is why Laing's genius does not polish so brightly here.
Similar to a few other "idealist" writers like Tim Leary, Carl Jung, David Foster Wallace and Friedrich Nietzsche, he expresses his thoughts in a very abstruse, paranoid and polemic mode which sometimes trips over itself by getting hung up on recurrences (thinking about thinking almost thinking...advertizement infinitum<\i>), authorial bias (or maybe I am incapable of knowing this from my perspective), or unjustified polarising views (the states vs. them).
Laing needs an editor more most other writers, to footing and cut out some depth and recurrence from his abstractions.
Pros to the essay is that he does try and make a list of psychological coping mechanisms and give examples. Bug with the essay are that information technology is less focused and stiff than any of those in The Politics of Feel and does non bring out whatsoever good new frameworks like The Divided Self.
I disagreed with Laing on some points in here. For example, his insistence that disgust for one`s own saliva is socially learned and unreasonable made sense to me, but I disagree that it is parallel to that for faeces which for me seems instead to clearly exist an instinctive and rational way to avoid disease.
I remember hearing this live would be interesting and seem very complicated, only when you take time to read and dissect it, it only does not hold up with the residue of his work.

Though I suspect much of the content worked improve in spoken course, I adore R.D. Laing and appreciate his ideas. It's so frustrating that decades later on people are equally resistant to these insights equally they ever were.
(I look forward to the film starring David Tennant!)
This volume is made up primarily of essays adjusted from talks Laing had given over the years. (I could nigh hear the Scottish lilt!)Though I suspect much of the content worked meliorate in spoken form, I adore R.D. Laing and capeesh his ideas. It's and then frustrating that decades after people are as resistant to these insights as they ever were.

El cuestionamiento de la familia es un conjunto de conferencias que se centran en La familia como institución que se construye de diferentes formas en distintas sociedades, pero principalmente como fantasía internalizada en el psiquismo durante la infancia, y que después dará forma a las relaciones sociales que se mantendrán durante la adultez.Aunque no es un análisis a profundidad, Laing en sus conferencias hace una crítica hacia los diagnósticos y tratamientos de las esquizofrenias basadas en modelos médicos, pone de relieve la estructura familiar como fundante, participe, encubridora y resistente de las patologías de uno de sus miembros o bien de la estructura familiar entera.
Según lo que he leído, Laing y Pichón Riviere son contemporáneos, no sé si se influenciaron mutuamente pero al leer a Laing me recordó mucho la teoría del vínculo de Pichón que sostiene la internalización no ya de objetos sino de toda la relación inter/intrafamiliar - la internalización de grupos enteros junto con sus relaciones - como base fundante de la estructura del psiquismo. También me recordó los conceptos de chivo emisario, emergente y depositario - depositante - depositado, en cuanto a las dinámicas familiares y el estudio de las esquizofrenias.
Lo que no me gustó de las conferencias es la última parte donde comienza a hablar sobre la introyección y proyección de los valores sociales y lo reduce a una cuestión individualista. Para alguien que habla sobre la familia y su influencia desde lo social, no le pone nombre a la ética burguesa desde donde se desprenden los valores moralistas así como tampoco a las instituciones ideologizantes del sistema que las crea.

Laing reads uncannily like Samuel Beckett. On closer inspection, this is non surprising, every bit it turns out he was influenced by existential philosophy, merely like his Irish fellow traveller in the absurd tragicomic realms territory that undergirds the shadowplay of the homo condition.

Astounding, hilarious, penetrating, familiar, terrifying.Laing reads uncannily similar Samuel Beckett. On closer inspection, this is not surprising, as it turns out he was influenced by existential philosophy, just like his Irish gaelic fellow traveller in the absurd tragicomic realms territory that undergirds the shadowplay of the man condition.
In other ways, he reads like Jiddu Krishnamurti, Max Stirner or David Bohm. Equally a thing of fact, his analysis of the depths to which external workout shape individual identity and experience is unparalleled in its precision and incision. Unlike these others, he is past no means sanguine about the possibility of escaping the labyrinth. He offers no solutions. He just poses the question, points out the problem, and leaves information technology up to the reader to ponder the implications.

At a time when public policy treats Cognitive Behavioural Therapy every bit the preferred method of tackling non-psychotic mental illness, an arroyo which looks at the individual in the context of a social unit of measurement would be welcome.
Information technology is not an easy read, compressing the thought of "family unit equally system" and referring to concepts such as projection and regression. Some sections read like a mathematical equation - elegant and enervating of the reader.
Very highly recommended.
