Did You Use to Be Rd Laing?

Synopsis: A celebration of the life and work of RD Laing, pioneer of radical medical treatment for the mentally ill.
Drawing on stories from Laing’s own life and from his patients’ experiences, and following him through a series of lectures and workshops, the film presents a portrait of the psychiatrist as an engaging, witty and irreverent character. Laing shares his insights into the art of therapy, the lies we tell each other in the name of love, the recurring patterns of behaviour that sometimes can be traced to birth, and the regrettable human instinct to suppress any behaviour and thought that is strange or disturbing.
