key description of Grof's theories on psychedelic experiences
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.

Innovative and a completely stunning approach to LSD and the discovery of the psyche's depths
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.

Let's take a trip to the past, man!
It was extremely interesting to read about LSD and the research performed with it during the 70's. Did you know LSD has been used to treat patients with PTSD, as well as being able to speed up recovery time for drug abuse patients. It's also disconcerting to know that we're outlawed further studies using these psychedelics, but the book was very enjoyable.

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.
