De la contraportada

This pioneering book shows how undergoing a spiritual crisis can be a positive experience that leads to renewal and rebirth.

Many people, at some point, find themselves undergoing a profound personal transformation, and opening up to a more spiritual life. If this happens gradually, under favourable circumstances, the result will be emotional healing, a change in personal values and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of life. However, many fond these changes take place too dramaticallyand their everyday lives are overturned. Unfortunately, many health professionals do not recognise the positive potential of these crises, but see them as manifestations of mental disease

In this book, Christina and Stanislav Grof draw on years of personal and professional experience to explore these 'spiritual emergencies' . They describe the forms they take, how they can be differentiated from mental illnesses, and practical ways to best survive them. This book is for people whose lives are touched by spiritual emergency; for those who are actually experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for those who treat them professionally, and for their families and friends.
