«Self and Others» is R. D. Laing's essay on psychology and philosophy, published by Penguin in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Laing studies how interpersonal relationships define the self: the individual receives confirmation or disconfirmation from others, and contradictory attributions or social pressure make their position untenable. With clinical cases and literary examples, he examines fantasy, communication and collusion in relation to authenticity.
