Laing focuses on more innovative and challenging performance styles, seen in the various erotically destabilizing approaches of Siouxsie Sioux, The Slits ' Ari Up, and X-Ray Spex ' Poly Styrene.

In this latter field, R. D. Laing, Thomas Szasz and Michel Foucault were instrumental in moving medicine away from emphasis on " cures " and towards concepts of individuals in balance with their society, both of which are changing, and against which no benchmarks or finished " cures " were very likely to be measurable.

Szasz describes the deceased ( 1989 ) Laing in vitriolic terms, accusing him of being irresponsible and equivocal on psychiatric diagnosis and use of force, and detailing his past " public behavior " as " a fit subject for moral judgment " which he gives as " a bad person and a fraud as a professional ".

Daniel Burston, however, has argued that overall the published works of Szasz and Laing demonstrate far more points of convergence and intellectual kinship than Szasz admits, despite the divergence on a number of issues related to Szasz being a libertarian and Laing an existentialist ; that Szasz employs a good deal of exaggeration and distortion in his criticism of Laing's personal character, and unfairly uses Laing's personal failings and family woes to discredit his work and ideas ; and that Szasz's " clear-cut, crystalline ethical principles are designed to spare us the agonizing and often inconclusive reflections that many clinicians face frequently in the course of their work ".

Critics ( such as R. D. Laing ) have argued that this leads to the diagnosis of delusions being based on the subjective understanding of a particular psychiatrist, who may not have access to all the information that might make a belief otherwise interpretable.

The path starts at the Waterloo Memorial at the foot of the Brae and heads along the coast via Carlingnose and Port Laing, a cove with a sandy beach and steep wooded slopes, to Inverkeithing, on to Dalgety Bay and Aberdour, and through Kirkcaldy, the East Neuk villages and Fife Ness eventually as far as Newport-on-Tay.

Peter L. Berger argued for a new concern with the basic process of the social construction of reality ; and in similar fashion, post-Sartrians like R. D. Laing stress that “ once certain fundamental structures of experience are shared, they come to be experienced as objective entities ... they take on the force and character of partial autonomous realities, with their own way of life ”.
