The Book Programme

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Robert Robinson
The books of R. D. LAiNG-The Divided Self, The Politics of Experience and Knots - made him a cult hero in the 1960s and the most influential of present-day psychiatrists. His new book, The Facts of Life, attempts to answer the question. ' Who am I? '. Made up of fragments of autobiography, lectures, journals and reflections, the book suggests that we may remember and re-enact our own conception and life before birth and is also an attack on the heartless methods of many scientific processes. In an interview filmed in his consulting room in North London, R. D. Laing talks about The Facts of Life.
