En savoir plus sur le livre

This extraordinary compilation of twenty-two essays honors the groundbreaking work of Stanislav Grof, a leading researcher in psychedelic therapy, breathwork, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. Over the past fifty years, Grof has conducted thousands of LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions, developed frameworks for understanding mental health, and created a new cartography of the mind that embraces spiritual experiences with openness and rigor. In celebration of Grof's 90th birthday, this collection features essays ranging from early assessments by Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith in the 1970s, who recognized the significance of Grof's discoveries, to contemporary reflections by psychiatrists and researchers involved in the current renaissance of psychedelic therapy. The essays explore various theoretical and therapeutic dimensions of Grof's work, including implications for social and cultural change, transpersonal sexual experiences, and the perinatal aspects of Jean-Paul Sartre's mescaline experience. Additionally, it draws comparisons with Asian religious systems and philosophical views of Alfred North Whitehead and William James, alongside insights from quantum and relativistic physics. Edited by Richard Tarnas and Sean Kelly, this collection serves as an homage to one of history's greatest clinicians and his enduring legacy in healing and evolving human consciousness.
