Many people are undergoing a profound personal transformation
associated with spiritual opening. Under favorable circumstances,
this process results in emotional healing, a radical shift in
values, and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of
existence. For some, these changes are gradual and relatively
smooth, but for others they can be so rapid and dramatic that they
interfere with effective everyday functioning, creating tremendous
inner turmoil. Unfortunately, many traditional health-care
professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these
crises; they often see them as manifestations of mental disease and
repsond with stigmatizing labels, suppressive drugs, and even
institutionalization.
In The Stormy Search for the Self, Christina and Stanislav
Grof, the world's foremost authorities on the subject of spiritual
emergence, draw on years of dramatic personal and professional
experience with transformative states to explore these "spiritual
emergencies," altered states so powerful they threaten to overwhelm
the individual's oridinary reality. This book will provide
insights, assurances, and practical suggestions for those who are
experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for their families
and friends, and for mental-health professionals. It is also a
valuable guide for anyone involved in personal transformation whose
experiences, though generally untraumatic, may still at times be
bewildering or disorienting.
