Sinossi
Maestro riconosciuto dell'antipsichiatria, Laing ha sorpreso tutti con questo volume di poesie che, apparso nel 1970, rappresenta in realtà, e con coerenza, una delle facce della sua ricerca. Il libro illustra infatti le concezioni di Laing sui modi di relazione fra gli individui, cioè "sull'esperienza e il comportamento interpersonali". Ognuno di noi si fa del comportamento altrui un'idea soggettiva, che rappresenta la sua "esperienza" dell'altro. L'intersecarsi di queste "esperienze", il loro urtarsi e modificarsi senza sosta creano una serie praticamente infinita di "nodi", di legami d'amore, di dipendenza, d'inquietudine.

Laing's best, more coherent but less visionary than The Bird of Paradise. According to my principles I should rat Leggi tutto
Knots form when human beings try to communicate...good book to read to give you ideas on untying the knots we tie and that others tie for us. So often the knots just get tighter; we pull them over the years - never considering how we are effectively ending any kind of positive communication. If you
My jewelry box has small compartments for delicate items. In these compartments I place pendants on fine chains. I lay them carefully inside and close the lid. What happens in my jewelry box while the lid is closed I do not know. But when I next open the lid, there are knots. Tight ones that defy my Leggi tutto
Probably there is no helpful way of talking about this book. Why and how it gripped me and moved me and challenged me and taught me and thrilled me and tickled me and even (productively) infuriated me--trying to pin any of it down seems futile. I say, read it, and know that either you will hate it a Leggi tutto
