Summary

This intriguing new book presents an exploration of the unconventional side of psychology: parapsychology. Assuming no prior knowledge of psychology, Roberts explores a wide array of unusual phenomena (dream telepathy, near death experiences, alien abductions, astrology, the placebo effect,and awareness during anesthesia and in comas), addressing the myths surrounding paranormal experience and placing them within the context of scientific study.
