Stanislav Grof is a psychiatrist who conducted pioneering clinical research with LSD in the 1960s and co-founded the field of transpersonal psychology, developing holotropic breathwork as a non-pharmacological method for accessing non-ordinary states of consciousness. His early psychedelic research predates modern clinical trial standards, but his systematic observations laid groundwork that current institutions are now building upon.
