Many people undergo profound personal transformation that is associated with spiritual unfoldment. When this process occurs under favorable circumstances, the result is emotional healing, a radical shift in value systems, and an awakening of the mystical dimension of existence. For some people, these changes are gradual and relatively mild, while for others they are so rapid and dramatic that they begin to interfere with effective daily functioning. Unfortunately, many traditionally minded healthcare professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these crises; they often perceive them as a manifestation of mental illness and suggest treating them with suppressive drugs. In the book “The Turbulent Search for Self,” Christina and Stanislav Grof use their many years of personal and professional experience with transformative states to explore the topic of “spiritual self-discovery” with all its complexities and vicissitudes, for which they propose the term “spiritual crisis.” This book is addressed to those people who have come into contact with a spiritual crisis in their lives - both for those who are experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for their families and friends, as well as for mental health professionals. Additionally, this book is a guide for anyone involved in personal transformation in any of its lighter, less dramatic forms. Christina and Stanislav Grof describe a wide range of spiritual crises and the forms they take, discussing how these crises can be distinguished from mental illness; give practical advice on how to live and work with a psychospiritual crisis. This groundbreaking book takes the reader on an inspiring journey through the challenges of spiritual crisis towards the promised renewal and rebirth.
