About the book
The Facts of Life by psychiatrist R.D. Laing is an autobiographical and philosophical reflection on human development. Drawing from his own childhood memories, clinical cases, and speculative thoughts, Laing explores how early experiences even those before birth shape a person's sense of self and mental world. The book connects personal history with broader questions about family dynamics, medical practice, and human existence.
