Stanislav Grof and Joan Halifax examine psychological, spiritual and cross-cultural responses to death, drawing on clinical work with terminally ill patients, psychedelic therapy and traditions describing death and rebirth.
A significant early work in transpersonal psychology and psychedelic research, with a foreword by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. It will be of particular interest to readers exploring consciousness, mystical experience, near-death phenomena and the cultural rituals surrounding dying.
