From the Inside Flap

The sensationalism surrounding the widespread use of LSD in the late 60's and the subsequent legislative overkill virtually ended psychotherapeutic LSD research. Much of what had been learned over thirty years of scientific medical study was so distorted or suppressed that no objective overview was available to the general reader.LSD Psychotherapy is a complete account of a remarkable chapter in the ever-continuing inquiry into transpersonal nature and origins. The controlled studies described in this book reveal exciting and challenging data about the nature of the human mind, one which accounts for experiences such as shamanic trance, near-death experiences and altered states of consciousness. This vision is also the foundation for Dr. Grof's revolutionary new Holotropic Breathwork techniques.This book is also a visual feast, with numerous color drawings and paintings created by research participants. Many of theses depict archetypal images from the collective human consciousness, which form a powerful addition to the text.
