==Notes==

Fusion therapy works by providing a "corrective experience." Clients neglected by parents have
"their emotional wounds healed" during several hours of "close embrace", i.e, maternal/paternal contact during the LSD session.<ref>Grof, Stanislav. ''When the Impossible Happens.'' Boulder, CO: Sounds True, 2006.</ref> Grof notes, perhaps counter intuitively, that this practice results in less transference than during regular psychoanalytic sessions where the therapist remains aloof and detached. In the former case, essential needs are finally met and the client can detach from the therapist and move on while in the latter case the aloof detached therapist tends to "reactivate the ... emotional wounds" which in turn "triggers desperate attempts on the part of the patients to get the attention and satisfaction that had been denied to them" as children.<ref>Grof, Stanislav.
