ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS ed. by Charles C. Tart HC w/ DJ 1969

Tart HC w/ DJ 1969 In good condition but something was spilled on cover and first page see pictures, the rest of book Is remarkably clean.
The study of the nature of human consciousness, a dormant and often taboo topic in psychology, is once again developing into a respected field of inquiry. This is the first book to provide a broad scientific point of view for the investigation of a variety of special states of consciousness.

The editor combines a humanistic approach, which includes an awareness of the great potential richness in human experience indicated by ASCs, with the disciplined precision of a scientist. He brings a professional point of view to the observation of the increasingly widespread use and resultant effects of drug, Yoga, self-hypnosis, and other means of producing ASCs which are popularly regarded as comprising either a major social problem or a sign of positive change in a materialistic civilization.
