Reviews

Miller provides an incisive and persuasive case for re-assessing Laing as a major public intellectual in twentieth-century Scotland ! Miller's book is short, accessible but very rich. As an introduction to Laing ... the book provides a reliable and informed guide to the concepts and issues that continue to drive the debate on the dominance of the biological model in the treatment of mental disorder.
