INTRODUCTION
(U)
(S-NF)
This
study
is
an overview of psychoenergetics research ef-
forts
in those Free-World countries
that have published articles
in
the
open literature.
The data are restricted
to foreign work and are derived
from
a comprehensive survey of
eight major parapsychological
journals,
spanning
a period from 1972 until
the present.
Two hundred and thirty-
three articles were evaluated and computerized
in
a Data Base Management
System
(DBMS)
according
to
six major
topics
or keywords
and
16 subtopics
that were chosen specifically
to reflect
those areas
considered
to be of
principal
interest
to
the
intelligence community.
The six principal
topic headings may
be understood
in general
terms according
to
the
fol-
lowing
set of definitions:
•
Remote
Sensing:
The acquisition and description,
by mental
means,
of
information blocked from ordinary perception by dis-
tance or
shielding,
and generally believed
to be secure against
such access
.
•
Remote Action:
The production
of physical
effects,
such
as
the
perturbation of
instrumentation or equipment
that appears
to be
well
shielded against,
or otherwise inaccessible
to, human
influence
.
•
Reliability /Screening
:
Spans
a wide range of prescriptive,
methodological experiments
or experimental protocols;
also
in-
cludes
studies
involved
in
the
identification of correlates
(e.g.,
physiological,
psychological,
and
so forth)
that may en-
hance psychoenergetic
functioning and/or facilitate
the selection
of
talented
subjects.
m
Theoretical Models
:
Various paradigms
and plausibility arguments,
which have been advanced within physics
and other disciplines
that endeavor
to explain observed phenomena.
•
Healing:
The ability
of
an agent
to cure
illness
or
to
influence
positively
the physical
state of
a biological
system.

Miscellaneous
:
Encompasses
all
topics
that were determined
to
possess
little or no immediate
intelligence
interest
(e.g.,
"hauntings," detection of
the human aura,
and
so
fcprth).
(U)
Table
1 provides
a summary
listing
of
the
Free-Wcj>rld countries
(and
their respective research facilities)
that have published articles
in
the open literature for
a given
topic.
This
table should be examined
with
the attendant caveats
that
(1)
no evaluation of
the quality of
any
published research was undertaken
for
the purposes
of
this
study and
(2)
a given article may have been counted more than once
if
it had been
determined
that
its principal research objectives encompassed more
than
one major
topic.
(U)
By way of
summation,
the following observations may
be derived
from
a general analysis
of
Table
1,
and
by further utilizing
the sub-
keyword capabilities
of
the
DBMS:
•
England
and The Netherlands published equivalent numbers
of
articles
on
the
topic
of
"remote sensing,"
followed! by West
Germany.
The following represents
a distribution df
articles
according
to remote sensing subtopics
(Table
2).
®
The Netherlands,
West Germany,
and
Scotland,
respectively,
are
indicated
as performing
the majority of
the research
in "remote
action."
The distribution
of
interest with regard
to
the sub-
topics within this major category
is
as
follows
(Table
3).
•
The Netherlands,
England,
and
Scotland,
respectively,
represent
the primary investigators
of
techniques both
for enhancing
the
reliability of psychoenergetic functioning and/or for identifying
talented subjects.
Within
the major category of reliability and
screening,
the published articles
for these
three countries may
be further subdivided
into
the following distribution of specific
subtopics
(Table
4).
•
West Germany and
England,
followed by The Netherlands
and
Scotland,
respectively,
have advanced
the greatest dumber
of
published theories
and models.
These may
be further delineated
according
to
the following subtopics
(Table
5).
;
I
•
Very
little work has been published on "healing"
in: this
par-
ticular selection of
journals;
this
is not
to conclude that
this
kind
of research categorically
is not occurring,
but that
it may
be published elsewhere
in
a different genre
of periodical.
