Beyond the Brain: Birth, Death, and Transcendence in Psychology

Beyond the Brain: Birth, Death, and Transcendence in Psychology by Grof, Stanislav. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780873959537.

Beyond the Brain seriously challenges the existing neurophysiological models of the brain. After three decades of extensive research on those non-ordinary states of consciousness induced by psychedelic drugs and by other means, Grof concludes that our present scientific world view is as inadequate as many of its historical predecessors. In this pioneering work, he proposes a new model of the human psyche that takes account of his findings.
