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.
With views which often ran clockwise to orthodoxy in treatment such as medications and electroshock therapy, there was often a great deal of controversy with regards to Laing's work. Regardless, as the psychiatrist saw the feelings of clients as reality rather than symptoms, Laing often saw positive results. Whereas, when it came to schizophrenia and psychosis, Laing saw both as theories rather than mental illnesses.
While labeled as anti-psychiatry, Laing rejected such labeling. At the same time, most had already labeled the psychiatrist a conservative free thinker. In large part, this label was due more to political affiliations rather than the unorthodox practice provided numerous clients as a psychiatrist.
In fact, the film Mad to Be Normal released in 2017 portrays the unorthodox work of Laing's practice in the late 1960s. The film reveals the approach the psychiatrist took as well as the community of clients with which Laing worked. While this is the case, this is just one of many of the films and books in which the psychiatrist has played a major role.
Even in early education at Sir John Neilson Cuthbertson Public School and four years at Hutcheson's Grammar School, Laing was considered precocious, competitive and clever. Unlike other children, Laing loved reading books from the public library, participated in distance running and became a musician and an associate of the Royal College of Music. Later, Laing studied medicine at the University of Glasgow.
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.
