Re-reading some bits of "The Divided Self" for the paper I'm writing, and keep thinking how Laing was so much ahead of his times: "Indeed, I feel we should be more frank about the judgements we implicitly make when we call someone psychotic" (p.27)

The future of our profession, if it has one, does not lie in tired promises of biological breakthroughs. It depends on unearthing and embracing neglected histories and genealogies of solidarity with the communities that academic psychiatry claims to serve.
