LSD: Doorway to the Numinous: The Groundbreaking Psychedelic Research into Realms of the Human Unconscious

This is an exceptional work. Dr Grof proves to be a pioneer in the human psyche. The book gives a new dimension to psychiatry and psychiatric care. We had Freud, Jung and now we have Grof adding a new dimention to the human psyche with his decades of LSD and holotropic breath research. This book is a must read for everybody who wants to learn about the correlation of prenatal experiences and psychiatric or psychological pathology and expanded consciousness by controlled use of psychedelics like LSD.

Especially clear descriptiona and examples of his COEX system, which is extremely useful for psychotherapy. His descriptions of the psychotherapy process with strong medicine is succinct and based on lots of experience. Also succinct description of his Perinatal experiences, which I find less compelling personally, but still useful.

This book is a must read for anyone intrested in a clear view of the LSD experince from one of the most knowledgeable experts on the subject. I also enjoyed the journy back through the sixties and seventies that sumed up how LSD became a class one drug.

Dr. Grof's work will be referenced as the pioneer in LSD theraphy. When mankind can understand the mistery of the brain, LSD will proof to be a doorway to deeper soul healing. This book is a must read for terapeutic psychologists as well as enthusiats and psychonauts.

Great book from one of the greatest living LSD therapy researches. One of greatest highlights are stories of his 50's 60's patients and their reactions and changes after high and repeated doses of psychodelic medicine.

Excellent is an understatement! This book is an unbiased view of the effects of LSD and beautifully presented. So much info and a very interesting read. Never gets boring.

Still researching ~ : ) Grof is mind-boggling!

Fascinating presentation of the early groundbreaking use of LSD and other hallucinogens in psychiatry, with case examples and discussion of individual experiences from bth Jungian and Freudian perspectives. Highly recommended to anyone interested in this subject.
