In his book,
Wisdom, Madness and Folly: The Making of a Psychiatrist 1927â57
, Macmillan, London, 1985, R. D. Laing wrote: âI have never said that parents or families or society “cause” mental illness, genetically or environmentallyâ¦I have never called myself an anti-psychiatristâ¦However I agree with the anti-psychiatric thesis that by and large psychiatry functions to exclude and repress those elements society wants excluded and repressed', pp. 8â9.
