Interesting "vintage" book published in 1970, Knots was written by R.D. Laing, the Scottish psychoananalyst who came to be identified with the "anti-pschiatry" movement because of his view that mental illness could be understood as a potentially transformative experience not unlike a shamanic journey. He also linked the development of psychosis with family relations--a view that has been more-or-less left behind the the wake of psychopharmacology.
