Psychiatrists and psychologists are often writers as well as health care professionals. In one case, the late and well known psychiatrist Ronald Laing is included in this category. For, Laing had a lot of experience in the overall field of psychiatry as explained in a partial psychiatric schizophrenic healing autobiography wisdom, madness and folly. The partial autobiography describes the psychiatrist and the non-conventional aspects of treatments provided throughout a lifetime.
Laing was a Scottish psychiatrist whom wrote entirely on the topic of psychosis and schizophrenia. In fact, the psychiatrists has received a number of film and book credits whether related to personal work or, the work of others. Most often, the body of work attributed to Laing is based on the unorthodox treatments and community built for clients with which the psychiatrist worked over the course of a lifetime.
While most of Laing's views ran counterclockwise to others in the field, the psychiatrist's treatments were often successful. As such, Laing continued to use the nonconventional treatments throughout a long and at times, challenging career. In most cases, Laing believed that seeing feelings which clients found to be disturbing or detrimental were actually real experiences. As such, by removing those experiences, clients could be healed without the need for more conventional forms of treatment.
While labeled as anti-psychiatry by society at large, Laing rejected such labeling. At the same time, the psychiatrist was also labeled as being conservative with regards to political affiliations. For, Laing was often regarded as a New Left thinker.
Mad to Be Normal, a film released in 2017 focuses on the life of Laing and the field of psychiatry in the 1960s. One of the main aspects being to shine a light on the unorthodox methods of treatment being provided at the time, many which were more successful than others. While this is the case, this is just one film in a library of a number of books and films in which Laing has received such credit.
Even as a child, Laing was thought to be clever, competitive and precocious whether related to reading, writing, sports or music, Laing often took the road less traveled. A road which eventually led to the Royal College of Music, then later, the University of Glasgow. It was at the latter where the young Laing failed the exams, then spent six months working in a mental ward before retaking and passing the exams.
During studies at Glasgow, the student set up a club related to the Socratic Oath, acquiring Philosopher Bertand Russell as president. While successful at setting up the club, Laing failed the first set of exams. Then, after serving as an assistant in mental health ward for 6 months, returned and retook and passed the exams.
Ultimately, while Laing continued to pursue this direction in the field of psychiatry, colleagues continued to reject the ideology presented by the psychiatrist. For, most disagreed with the overwhelming opposition Laing held toward electroshock, insulin shock therapy and medication. Still, Laing moved on providing unorthodox treatment to those whom shared in the same ideology, philosophy and theoretical beliefs and continued to reject the so-called norm when it came to ongoing and more conventional treatments.
