In reply to hopeforhappiness.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t cult psychologist R D Laing’s anti-psychiatry movement lend a dubious intellectual respectability to the notion that “normal” is a social construct with no medical validity? Laing, unsurprisingly, was a popular figure at the spiritual home of Californian psychotherapy, The Esalen Institute, as well as being a favourite of the trendy London intelligentsia of the 60s and 70s.
