Parapsychology: A Handbook for the 21st Century Paperback – August 14, 2015

This book covers the waterfront when it comes to parapsychology. This treats the topic seriously. It is not pop psychology. It is not a hard sell diatribe. It is a thoughtful and critical analysis of a controversial topic that is gaining more attention in this age of expanded scientific concepts and paradigms.

Very interesting book. My favorite subject. Recommend highly. Can get technical and has plenty of food for thought.

A good summation, but alas very revealing of the chaotic, divided and indeed inconclusive nature of the discipline today.

The best comprehensive and easy-to-read scientific handbook about parapsychology.

Interesting

This is an excellent overview of modern developments in parapsychology. It has comprehensive discussions of methodology, areas, and other issues about this field organized in the following sections: 1) Basic Concepts, 2) Research Methods and Statistical Approaches, 3) Psychology and Psi, 4) Biology and Psi, 5) Physics and Psi, 6) Psi Phenomena: Anomalous Cognition, Perturbation and Force, 7) Psi Phenomena: Research on Survival, 9) Practical Applications, and 9) To Sum It Up.Some particularly interesting chapters are: Parapsychology in Context: The Big Picture (Edward F. Kelly), Physical Correlates of Psi (Adrian Ryan), Mental Mediumship (Julie Beischel and Nancy L. Zingrone), Exceptional Experiences (ExE) in Clinical Psychology (Martina Belz and Wolfgang Fach), and On the Usefulness of Parapsychology for Science at Large (Gerd H. Hovelmann).The chapters present comprehensive literature reviews that will be helpful to those interested to get an idea of the findings and other issues related to parapsychology in the last few decades.

One of the best books on experimental parapsychology I've ever read. Well structured, comprehensive, easy-to-read, and written by the leading researchers in the field. Hope it can be translated into different languages and spread to a broader audience.

I find this text to be my go to for all things parapsychology related. It covers everything that you would need to know.
