Description
Case Histories is a renowned work by British psychologist and psychoanalyst, Dr. R. D. Laing, which explores complex psychological cases through in-depth case studies. Among the most notable cases in the book are “Dara” and “Little Hans.” In the case of “Dara,” Laing examines the psychological impact of family dynamics and societal expectations on an individual’s development. Meanwhile, “Little Hans,” a case made famous by Sigmund Freud, focuses on a young boy suffering from a phobia of horses, which Laing interprets within the context of the unconscious mind and childhood trauma. Both case studies illustrate the intricate relationship between a person’s inner world and external influences, offering a profound understanding of mental health challenges. Through these cases, Laing emphasizes the importance of viewing patients holistically, considering their familial, societal, and emotional contexts in the treatment process.
