R.D. Laing: His Work and its Relevance for Sociology (RLE Social Theory)Author :
Paperback
Published : Friday 20 May 2016
Description
This study, by a sociologist, provides the most rigorous and comprehensive review to appear so far of R. D. Laings work and theoretical development. Martin Howarth-Williams considers that Laings insights into such controversial issues as the divided self and the politics of the family are of an importance that transcends their basis in clinical psychiatry and that they have a special significance for sociology. Howarth-Williams isolates the concept of Intelligibility, which he demonstrates to be the unifying theme central to Laings theory and shows how this can be used as the basis for a critique of recent developments in sociological theory as well as a starting point towards a genuinely dialectical sociology.
