"No one can read this book without having new ideas which may profoundly change his life. Most who read it will want to spread copies among their friends and acquaintances." last, but not least: "Dull indeed is the person who reads it and remains fully chained to his old thoughts."

Mass Market Paperback . 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Good/ 218pp. Another of the classic Penguin books, this one focusing on the study of the "Human Situation". Dr. Laing's first purpose is to make madness and the process of going mad comprehensible. In this, with case studies of schizophrenic patients, he succeeds brilliantly, but he does more through a vision of sanity and madness as 'degress of conjunction and disjunction between two persons where the one is sane by common consent' he offers a rich existential analysis of personal alienation.

Luria, A.R. Translated from Russian and Edited By W. Horsley Gantt Foreword By Adolf Meyer
The Nature of Human Conflicts
New York, N.Y., U.S.A.: Washington Square Press, 1967. Mass Market Paperback First Thus. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Very Good/ 431pp. A very nice copy of a classic book of modern psychology. Sime minor edgewear and very minor creasing of the corners on the front cover. Inside, there is very mild creasing on a few of the pages in the upper right-hand corner, and VERY minor discoloration of the text block, although I believe this to be the original color of the paper. Inside, the pages are very clean and bright. This is an uncommon book originally written back in 1932, but has been reprinted many times in small runs. The initial study was based on extensive lab research at the State Institute of Experimental Psychology in Moscow. This research consisted (as taken from the back cover) a critical re-evaluation of Pavlovian behavioral mechanisms in the light of the broader concepts of science and society espoused by Marx, its hypothesis is that of a philosopher-scientist-psyhiatrist: that the study of human behavior can be brought within the techniques of natural science.
