Book Description | An Existential Study in the Mind, Lang's first book, in 1960, while still in the prime of life, the book has succeeded in raising doubts about many theories and practices of psychiatry, especially with regard to the duality of reason and madness, and the book was a milestone in the history of psychiatry. Making David CooperLange describes him as an anti-psychiatrist, that is, an antithesis to the traditional view of psychiatry. The mind-madness dichotomy on which psychiatry is founded is largely called into question, and the dichotomy that Lange discusses in this book from an unconventional perspective. Lange was not the first scientist to turn against the paradigm of the sciences they studied in order to develop and expand their field of vision, nor will he be the last. |
