Abstract
Stanislav Grof's insights, as expressed in his writings and workshops, have given new depth and meanings to the field of psychotherapy, whether assisted by the medium of psychedelics or by holotropic breathwork. His observations and theories have also made significant contributions to our social-historical understanding of the intractable roots of war, criminality and domination; and connected to the new visionary psycho-cosmologies whose depth and scope we are only beginning to comprehend.
