The Psychology of the Psychic

The Psychology of the Psychic is a thoro refutation of the claims of serious parapsychologists such as Russell Targ, Harold Puthoff, Edwin C. May, the late Charles Honorton, Rupert Sheldrake & Jessica Utts, including new material concerning the major paranormal claims of the 20th century." After 25 years devoted to intense studies of Uri Geller, remote viewing, the ganzfeld & other paranormal claims--& in spite of an insatiable public appetite for all things supernatural--Marks finds that the evidence for psychic phenomena hasn't changed all that much, nor has its credibility. "Included in this book is a discussion of why so many people today are prone to accept the reality of psychic phenomena, astrology, UFOs, palmistry, biorhythms, dowsing & other popular beliefs. Not just a book for professionals in the social sciences, this second edition of The Psychology of the Psychic will appeal to anyone interested in the investigation of psychic claims."--Book Jacket
