Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena.

  • Hans Driesch's Interest in the Psychical Research. a Historical
    Medicina Historica 2017; Vol. 1, N. 3: 156-162 © Mattioli 1885 Original article: history of medicine Hans Driesch’s Interest in the Psychical Research. A Historical Study Germana Pareti Department of Philosophy and Science of Education, University of Torino, Italy Abstract. In recent times the source of interest in psychical research in Germany has been subject of relevant studies. Not infrequently these works have dealt with this phenomenon through the interpretation of the various steps and transformations present in Hans Driesch’s thought, from biology and medicine to neovital- ism, and finally to parapsychology. However these studies identified the causes of this growing involvement in paranormal research either in the historical context of “crisis” of modernity (or “crisis” in psychology), or in an attempt to “normalize” the supernatural as an alternative to the traditional experimental psychology. My paper aims instead at throwing light on the constant effort by Driesch to conceive (and found) psychical re- search as a science of the super-normal, using the methodology successfully adopted by the scientific community (especially German) in the late nineteenth century. Key words: Driesch, medicine, parapsychology Introduction. Driesch’s Life and Education one Zoologica in Naples, Italy.

  • A Field Guide to Critical Thinking
    A Field Guide to Critical Thinking Get back issues, subscriptions, and merchandise at the CSI store. Feature James Lett Volume 14.4, Fall 1990 CSI is not responsible for the content of these advertisements CSI is not responsible for the content of these advertisements There are many reasons for the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States today, including: 1. the irresponsibility of the mass media, who exploit the public taste for nonsense, 2. the irrationality of the American world-view, which supports such unsupportable claims as life after death and the efficacy of the polygraph, and 3. the ineffectiveness of public education, which generally fails to teach students the essential skills of critical thinking. As a college professor, I am especially concerned with this third problem. Most of the freshman and sophomore students in my classes simply do not know how to draw reasonable conclusions from the evidence. At most, they've been taught in high school what to think; few of them know how to think. In an attempt to remedy this problem at my college, I've developed an elective course called “Anthropology and the Paranormal.” The course examines the complete range of paranormal beliefs in contemporary American culture, from precognition and psychokinesis to channeling and cryptozoology and everything between and beyond, including astrology, UFOs, and creationism. I teach the students very little about anthropological theories and even less about anthropological terminology. Instead, I try to communicate the essence of the anthropological perspective, by teaching them, indirectly, what the scientific method is all about. I do so by teaching them how to evaluate evidence.

  • Albert Von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1
    Med. Hist. (2012), vol. 56(2), pp. 255–276. c The Author 2012. Published by Cambridge University Press 2012 doi:10.1017/mdh.2011.36 Policing Epistemic Deviance: Albert von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1 ANDREAS SOMMER∗ UCL Centre for the History of Psychological Disciplines, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK Abstract: Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862–1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862–1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an ‘occult complex’. Moll’s analysis concluded that parapsychologists vouching for the reality of supernormal phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and materialisations, suffered from a morbid will to believe, which paralysed their critical faculties and made them cover obvious mediumistic fraud. Using Moll’s treatment of Schrenck-Notzing as an historical case study of boundary disputes in science and medicine, this essay traces the career of Schrenck-Notzing as a researcher in hypnotism, sexology and parapsychology; discusses the relationship between Moll and Schrenck-Notzing; and problematises the pathologisation and defamation strategies of deviant epistemologies by authors such as Moll. Keywords: Academic Freedom, Boundary Work, Epistemic Deviance, Hypnotism, Parapsychology, Psychical Research Albert von Schrenck-Notzing: From Psychopathia sexualis to the Materialisation of Dreams Baron Albert von Schrenck-Notzing was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on 18 May 1862. After entering Munich University in 1883 to train as a physician, he studied hypnotism under Hippolyte Bernheim in Nancy, together with Sigmund Freud, in the late 1880s.

  • Gerard Croiset
    Gerard Croiset: Investigation of the Mozart of "Psychic Sleuths"—Part I Critical examination of the evidence surrounding the cases of supposed crime-solving by the celebrated Dutch "clairvoyant" finds extraordinary differences between the claims and the facts. Piet Hein Hoebens First of two articles. The Dutchman Gerard Croiset, who died unexpectedly in July 1980, was undoubtedly one of the psychic superstars of the twentieth century. His mentor, Professor Wilhelm Tenhaeff, has called him the clairvoyant equivalent of Mozart or Beethoven. Tenhaeffs German colleague, Pro­ fessor Hans Bender, recently admitted that Croiset had been instrumental in transforming his belief in ESP into "an unshakable conviction." The obituaries published in the European press reflected the sensitive's unique reputation. According to the Amsterdam weekly Elsevier, the deceased had heralded a "new awareness of cosmic solidarity." The German para- scientific monthly Esotera ran a cover story lamenting the death of "the clairvoyant who never disappointed." A professor from the papal univer­ sity delivered the funeral oration. Croiset's career in the supernatural has been distinguished indeed. According to his biographers, he has solved some of the century's most baffling crimes, traced countless lost objects, and located hundreds of missing persons. His paranormal healing powers are said to have been on the Caycean level. He "excelled" at precognition and is credited with having accurately foretold future events on numerous occasions. Most of his remarkable feats, it is said, were performed under scientific supervision, which supposedly would make Croiset one of the most thoroughly tested sensitives since Mrs. Piper. Piet Hein Hoebens is an investigative journalist with the leading Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraff and a member of the Dutch section of CSICOP.

  • Applied Parapsychology Studies of Psychics and Healers
    Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 7,No. 4, pp. 375-40 1, 1993 0892-33 10193 O 1993 Society for Scientific Exploration Applied Parapsychology Studies of Psychics and Healers Psychology Laboratory, University of Utrecht, Heidelberglaan 2, 3584 CS Utrecht, The Netherlands and Dept. of Psychology University of Edinburgh Abstract - Most research in parapsychology is aimed at understanding and controlling paranormal phenomena like telepathy, precognition and psy- chokinesis. However, in everyday life the practical applications of these phe- nomena, mainly by psychics and healers, play a more important role. People are generally more interested in the question of how effective these applica- tions are than in scientific explanations of them. They want to know whether they should consult a psychic for a specific problem or what to expect from treatment by a paranormal healer. It is an important aspect of scientific activ- ity to provide society with answers to such questions; answers not based on belief or disbelief in the paranormal but on factual research data. Research with psychics dates back to the last century. Considering the com- plexity of the problem it is not surprising that it took many years before prop- er statistical evaluation methods were developed. Based on studies in which the paranormal impressions of psychics were quantitatively evaluated an as- sessment is given of what happens when clients consult a psychic and of the merit of the impressions on which the psychics base their advice. Compared to psychics, there exists a much larger community of active paranormal healers. Despite this large number, the amount of research carried out on paranormal healing is less than the number of studies done with psy- chics.

  • Croiset and Professor Tenhaeff
    Croiset and Professor Tenhaeff: Discrepancies in Claims of Clairvoyance It appears that Professor Tenhaeff, whose works are the principal source of information on the Dutch clairvoyant, fraudulently reported his results Piet Hein Hoebens This is the second of two articles on Hoehens's investigations. The first appeared in our Fall issue. — ED. According to Professor Wilhelm Heinrich Carl Tenhaeff (Proceedings 1960J, the majority of the hits scored by "psychic" detectives "appear to be of value solely from the parapsychological angle."They are of no use to the police, but to the experienced psychical researcher they constitute inter­ esting examples of ESP. The psychic is supposed actually to have "seen" particulars relating to a given police case but to have been unable to get his vision into focus. Only post factum can the clairvoyant's impressions be declared hits. This, however, requires the facts to be subjected to a positively procrustean form of "interpretation." An anecdote cited by American journalist Jack Harrison Pollack is an almost burlesque example of the lengths to which determined believers will go to make the outcome fit the prediction. Pollack is the author of a full- length biography of the Dutch clairvoyant Gerard Croiset, which Tenhaeff helped him with and vouched for. Consulted in a 1950 Arnheim rape case, Croiset "saw" that the rapist had "an abnormally big genital organ." When the police arrested a suspect, they had a good look at his private parts but found them to be standard size. Never mind, says Pollack, "They learned that he was a twenty-year-old cook who occasionally used a big, red basting syringe in the kitchen, which prompted Croiset's image of an ab­ normally large genital organ." Both in the police cases and in the experimental "chair" tests, Croiset's typical ESP hit was on a comparable level.
