This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1992. It will remain public for only one week.
What is the origin of individual behavior and personality? Stanislav Grof proposes that individuals have systems of condensed experience (COEX systems) which become anchored to aspects of the birth trauma. He describes four different basic stages of the birth process and shows how they relate to attitudes developed later in life.
Stanislav Grof is author of LSD Psychotherapy, Beyond the Brain, and The Adventure of Self-Discovery and co-author of The Human Encounter with Death. A former professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, he was scholar in residence for fourteen years at the Esalen Institute. With his late wife, Christina Grof, he has developed a psychotherapeutic approach known as Holotropic Therapy.
