Revolutionary Psychiatrist Stanislav Grof 2019 about the depths of CONSCIOUSNESS, and how limited and narrow the Western model of the psyche definitely is.
Holotropic, mystical, altered states of consciousness in Western medicine are all just simply classified as "psychosis" and pathologized.
And the only "therapy" ordinary psychiatrists still know is to suppress the symptoms and to say they are incurable...^^
In contrast, indigenous cultures value the POWER of HEALING of altered states of consciousness.
Comparing the healing power of non-ordinary, holotropic states of consciousness with what happens in psychoanalysis or in behavior deconditioning, this "classical" ways of psychotherapy are like a JOKE to Grof ;)
-> non-ordinary states of consciousnes done properly are the MOST POWERFUL INVENTIONS available in psychiatry - so, hopefully, we are returning to that!🙏
