Ronald David Laing (1927-1989) was a controversial Scottish psychiatrist known for his pioneering work in analyzing schizophrenia. His 1960 book 'The Divided Self' became popular among those with schizophrenia but faced criticism from psychiatrists. Laing employed an existential-phenomenological approach to reveal the inner world of individuals with schizophrenia. He criticized the psychiatric practices of his time, arguing that they perpetuated mental illness, contributing significantly to the anti-psychiatry movement of the 1950s. His profound insights into schizophrenia were influenced by his own troubled upbringing. Laing died of a heart attack, potentially linked to his long-term struggles with depression and substance abuse.
