Laing
Scottish psychiatrist. In his widely read and highly controversial book The Divided Self (1960), his analysis of schizophrenia led him to theorize that insecurity about one's existence prompts a defensive reaction in which the self splits into separate components, generating psychotic symptoms, and he opposed standard schizophrenia treatments such as hospitalization and electroshock. He even opposed the concept of mental illness, viewing it as induced by family relationships and society, and radically reconceived the role of the psychiatrist. He later modified some of his controversial positions.

City (pop., 1996 est.: 126,000), capital of Michigan.

Originally called Michigan, it adopted the name Lansing in 1848. It became a center of auto manufacturing in the late 19th cent. Now a major automobile production center, it is the site of the first U.S. agricultural college, Michigan State Univ. (now in E. Lansing).
