Dr. Stanislav Grof (1931- ) Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia; trained as a Freudian Psychoanalyst at Charles University (M.D.) and the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (Ph.D.) Stanislav (Stan) Grof, M.D. dedicated 20 years to exploring the clinical and therapeutic uses of LSD. Emigrated to the United States to work on the last scientific research project using LSD with terminal cancer patients (Al Kurland, University of Maryland Hospital) before psychedelics became scapegoated and placed into the most restrictive category of enforcement (Schedule One - reserved for substances deemed to have a 'High potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use' included essentially the psychedelics and marijuana as well as Quaaludes & phencyclidine (PCP). Morphine, cocaine and the amphetamines were placed in Schedule Two, having a 'high potential for abuse and a recognized medical use.' It's interesting to note that a scientific definition for "abuse" was never provided by the government bureaucrats which established their control over ever practising physician who would thenceforth be required to apply for and include on all prescriptions for controlled and non-controlled Rx's their own D.E.A. number. In this way the medical profession was betrayed by its own much too-cozy relationship to the politically powerful drug makers. To this day, there are many doctors who have been prosecuted for prescribing what Narcotics Control Agents believed was too high of a dose and/or quantity of such substances as Codeine Phosphate and Diazepam HCl, both of which can be purchased without a doctor's prescription in wide parts of the world including Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
This was "War" accd'g to then President Richard Nixon who was nearing his reelection campaign and desperate to divert the public's attention away from the secret invasion of Laos & Cambodia and the bombing of North Vietnamese civilians. And so, almost as a footnote drugs were proclaimed "Public Enemy Number One" while physicians - once considered the most respected of all professionals and now 3rd behind Firemen and Nurses - were conscripted as the first line of the new constabulary.
Beginning at the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague at a time when LSD was classified as a psychotomimetic (substance that produced a temporary model psychosis), he began by ingesting it under clinical conditions.
Thereafter the author worked closely with LSD and conducted more than 4,000 sessions of psychedelic therapy with psychiatric patients and volunteer outpatients, amassing the largest and most detailed laboratory reports which he summarized in this book.
From the orig. publisher:
The sensationalism surrounding the widespread use of LSD in the late 60s 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 - except for this book. LSD Psychotherapy is a complete account of a remarkable chapter in the ever-continuing inquiry into our transpersonal nature and origins. The controlled studies described in this book reveal exciting and challenging data about the nature of human consciousness, perception, and reality itself. Drawing on this work Dr. Stanislav Grof outlines a new cartography of the human mind, one which accounts for experiences such as shamanic trance, near-death experiences and altered states of consciousness. This book is also a visual feast, with numerous drawings and paintings created by research participants. Many of these depict archetypal images from the collective human consciousness, which form a powerful addition to the text. LSD Psychotherapy is a valuable source of information for those who are involved with LSD in any way, as parents, teachers, researchers, legislators, or students of the human psyche. The approach to healing desc
