Realms of the Human Unconscious: Observations from LSD Research

Dr. Stanislav Grof � one of the most esteemed psychedelics researchers out there �
published this book in 1979. It�s a collection of his firsthand observations on the
effects of LSD in his patients and research subjects. �Grof has more experience
with the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs than anyone alive,� Shroder says.
Doblin recommends Grof as well: �Stan Grof�s vast insights into the subconscious,
drawn from the thousands of LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions he conducted,
revolutionized the field of psychology and form the basis of most contemporary
psychedelic therapy,� he says. Many of Grof�s patients have lived through
unspeakable trauma � rape, abuse, and war � and he chronicles their treatment in
heartbreaking detail. Unlike The Secret Chief, which looks at the world of Zeff and
his practices, Grof�s book focuses more on his patients� stories.
