Conversations with Adam and Natasha

"R. D. Laing's conversations with his two youngest children over the last six years have resulted in a marvelous collection of the Knots of childhood, showing how children's thoughts and personalities develop. It may have been the decision to write KNots and Do You Love Me? that made Laing listen to his children in a way that the rest of us fail to do, or it may have been the natural inclination of a psychoanalyst whose major scientific work has been devoted to the development of family ties. Whatever the reason, during the last six years R. D. Laing has kept careful notes of his conversations with his children, watching how they grew, how their thoughts develped, how they grew, how their thoughts developed, how they coped with the icredible variety of problems that beset all children. The result is this extraordinary book as enjoyable as it is instrucive, as funny as it is tender" -- Book jacket.
