Dr. Grof's consciousness research over the last five decades has
shown that the deepest roots of trauma often lie in experiences
from birth or in events from human history that have not yet been
resolved and are still active in the collective unconscious. This
unresolved personal or collective history then expresses through an
individual or group that has some connection to the earlier events.
Traditional therapeutic approaches which focus only on events in
the personal biography or tranquilizing medications do not access
or heal these deeper wounds in the human psyche. From a more
general perspective, Dr. Grof examines the broad problems of
violence and greed in society and finds that the widespread fear
and aggression between individuals and groups may also originate in
large part from the unconscious acting-out of unresolved historical
traumas from the collective unconscious. The message of Dr. Grof
and this book is, however, a hopeful one: there are approaches to
therapy which utilize a specific non-ordinary state of
consciousness which enables individuals, with support, to access
and heal these deeper levels of trauma from the personal and
collective unconscious. He has named this state of consciousness
Holotropic, a composite word which means "oriented toward
wholeness" or "moving in the direction of wholeness" (from the
Greek holos = whole and trepo, trepein = moving toward or in the
direction of something). Dr. Grof describes various approaches to
achieving this Holotropic state and using it for healing, with his
focus on Holotropic Breathwork, which he developed with his partner
Christina, and psychedelic therapy, which he pioneered in the 1950s
and which is now experiencing a renaissance of clinical research
for treatment of addictions and PTSD.
