Ronald David Laing
Ronald David Laing (født Glasgow (Skotland, 7. oktober 1927; død 23. august 1989), var en skotsk psykiater, der beskrev psykiske sygdomme, især psykoser.
Laing er kendt for sine teorier om årsagerne til mentale forstyrrelser. Hans teori om de "skizogene" (?) forældre eller skizofreni skulle udelukke ham fra den psykiatriske ortodoksi i hans samtid. Han blev ofte i tankerne forbundet med den bevægelse mod psykiatrien kaldet antipsykiatrien, selv om han afviste dette tilnavn.
