Hello, I am new to this forum and am not sure if this right place to address my question. I am vehemently averse drug based mental health care. To this end very intrigued by both of the above figures. However, its been only recently that I have had an opportunity to explore Holotropic breath work, finding it to be profoundly inspiring.

Yet the more I read about Laing's work the more I feel his and Grof must have been similar. I don't mean their world view, I also refer to the type of techniques and methodologies.

Would I be correct.? How did Laing induce altered states or the re-birthing. Was it also through breathing.

Would that change your mind about it all? What do you do with the studies that for say, "most" short term depression, less than a year? that either psychotherapy OR drug therapy works equally as well?

Welcome to pc, btw

Virtually none of us here have formal psychology training -- try a professional forum, maybe?

Personally, I'm not into humanistic existential psychotherapy at all.

i don't see anything wrong with a discussion about this, if people want to join in. i don't have a clue about it, but encourage those who do to educate the rest of us. xoxox pat
