Book Description
Originally published in 1980, the first edition of THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE PSYCHIC, coauthored by David Marks and the late Richard Kammann, received rave reviews and quickly became a benchmark for skeptical analysis of the field of parapsychology.
This edition, completely updated and expanded by David Marks, is a thorough refutation of the claims of serious parapsychologists such as Russell Targ, Harold Puthoff, Edwin C. May, the late Charles Honorton, Rupert Sheldrake, and Jessica Utts, including exciting new material concerning the major paranormal claims of the twentieth century.
After twenty-five years devoted to intense studies of Uri Geller, remote viewing, the ganzfeld, and other paranormal claims--and 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 fascinating book is a discussion of why so many people today are prone to accept the reality of psychic phenomena, astrology, UFOs, palmistry, biorhythms, dowsing, and 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.
