I notice that the apa has a new book out dealing with a variety of odd
and paranormal experiences. I don't know if it has been reviewed yet, but
from the names of the editors, my impression is that it will largely be
composed of clinical anecdotes and discussion of hypnosis and dissociation.
My hope is that it will provide some ties to actual psychological science.
As a social psychologist, I hope also it provides some info about the social
and family context. Anyway, it is called, "Varieties of anomalous
experience: Examining the scientific evidence." The editors are E. Cardena,
S.J. Lynn, and Stanley Krippner and you can find it at the apa web site. I
just ordered a copy, as I am interested in such things, and of course our
students are too. Gary Peterson
