Os psiquiatras da pessoa desapareceram. Não escrevem mais livros emocionantes como O Eu Dividido, não esbravejam mais contra o Sistema (que continua firme e forte) nem fazem “uma abordagem ‘existencial’ das doenças mentais”. Hoje, tudo é neurociência e farmacologia – as terapias são “disciplinas auxiliares, que devem encontrar seu lugar no esquema totalizante” (as duas citações são copiadas de/inspiradas por Reason and Violence). Não vou fazer, a essa altura do campeonato, mais uma análise da importância de Laing, até porque não tenho competência para tal. Quero apenas deixar com os leitores um endereço: a revista Janus Head (2001) tem um número especial sobre Laing, com artigos escritos por colegas (alguns foram amigos próximos, e o conheciam bem).
