Description: This volume is aimed at bridging the gap and establishing rapport between medical science and psychic research. It attempts to demonstrate that only an integral approach, that considers man in his wholeness with his spiritual needs as well as the physical and mental ones, can lead to genuine health and growth. This book grew out of three historic panel-symposia on psychic phenomena that were presented at annual meetings of the American Psychiatric Association. More than half of the thirty contributors to it are physicians, making this the most comprehensive interdisciplinary collaboration on the subject published to date.
Notes: Includes bibliographies and index.
