The same year that Doblin started MAPS (1986) to spread the good word of Stan Grof, Albert Ellis predicted that "the extremists who may well blow us all to bits in the not-too-distant future will most probably hold and implement transpersonal attitudes."

How/why can Michael Pollan seriously get away with saying behaviourism was the dominant school of thought in psych in the 20th century? I have noticed this kind of behaviourism strawman from Grof/MAPS-oriented people in psychedelics for a while, completely ignoring the entire cog revolution

I think it's likely there are a fair few people who have heard an "insiders" story about Yensen and Dryer's abuses. I also remembering hearing murmurs years ago that there was "more to the story", implying we shouldn't be overly critical of MAPS. This kind of secret-knowledge is very predictable.

Yehuda et al 2026 cite Yehuda et al 2015 to support their claim that trauma research supports "enabling integration of previously fragmented or avoided experiences" yet this is nowhere in the 2015 paper. Imo, this is a dangerous sanitisation of transpersonal psych + opens doors to repressed memory

Australian memory researcher and lawyer, Donald Thomson, has been claiming for years that he was falsely accused of rape in 1975, while he was on TV speaking about memory errors. I can find no media reporting/content of any form discussing the case prior to Thomson sharing the story himself - why?

To summarise, Amy Griffin (author of The Tell, a book about uncovering repressed memories of CSA) has been a close supporter of Eva Dubin (as recent as 2022), who ardently defended Epstein+Maxwell against CSA allegations/convictions (2021). Both are married to hedge fund billionaires - super normal.
