Review: The Crucible of Experience: R.D. Laing and The Crisis of Psychotherapy
Since RD Laing’s death on a tennis court in St. Tropez in 1989, at least eight books, and a profusion of articles have been added to the considerable collection of works by or about him. The latest addition, The Crucible of Experience, RD Laing & The Crisis of Psychotherapy by Daniel Burston promises to explain RD Laing’s therapeutic technique. Does it fulfill the book jacket’s advertisement, and tell us of Laing’s perception of a crisis in psychotherapy, as well?
