British psychiatrist R. D. Laing’s “Knots” available in Persian

TEHRAN – “Knots,” a poetic and philosophical work by the renowned British psychiatrist R. D. Laing, has been rendered into Persian by translator Sepideh Ebrahimi.

Published by Nashr-e Markaz, the book is now accessible to Iranian readers interested in Laing’s unique approach to psychology and human relationships. “Knots” is known for its intricate dialogues and paradoxical statements that explore the complexities of human interaction and communication breakdowns.

Laing (1927–1989) was a prominent figure in the anti-psychiatry movement, challenging conventional views on mental illness. His works often focused on the subjective experience of individuals, particularly those diagnosed with psychosis.

Sepideh Ebrahimi’s translation marks a significant addition to the growing body of Western psychological and philosophical texts available in Persian, broadening the scope of discourse for Iranian academics and general readers alike.
