Did You Used to Be R.D. Laing? (DVD) Email This Page
Filmmaker: Tom Shandel and Kirk Tougas
DVD - $ 95.00
Price includes Public Performance License.
Drawing on stories from Laing's own life and from his patients' experiences, and following him through a series of lectures and workshops, the film presents a portrait of the radical psychiatrist as an engaging, witty and irreverent character. Laing shares his insights into the art of therapy, the lies we tell each other in the name of love, the recurring patterns of behavior that sometimes can be traced to birth, and the regrettable human instinct to suppress any behavior and thought that is strange or disturbing. The film reveals its subject as a thinker of great originality and genius whose compelling charisma and gusto made him an equally effective storyteller and prankster.
