Resumen
GABRIEL, Guiomar y TEIXEIRA, José A. Carvalho. Ronald D. Laing: A política da psicopatologia. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2007, vol.25, n.4, pp.661-673. ISSN 0870-8231.
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic overview on the work of Ronald D. Laing (1927-1989), specifically his contributions to psychopathology and his view on psychosis. Laings critical perspectives on traditional psychopathology, and his suggestion of a different, ontological criterion for a phenomenological-existential psychopathology, are referred. This paper presents Laings evolving views on psychosis and several of his concepts such as: ontological insecurity; false Self system; three types of anxiety present in the ontological insecure individuals; good-bad-mad developments; mystification; psychosis as a way of coping with an unbearable situation; psychosis as a transcendental experience and a journey to the inner world; intelligibility of symptoms. Finally, a critical perspective on laingian concepts and a personal discussion on Laings actuality and pertinence are presented.
Palabras clave : Laing; psychopathology; phenomenology; existentialism; psychosis.
