This work of ‘systematic parapsychology’ aims to construct a framework and system of parapsychology, taking a comprehensive approach to the field.

Editorial Reviews
Review
An impressive book that reflects the erudition and dedication of its author…It provides its readers with a philosophical as well as a historical perspective on the scientific attempt to understand reports of phenomena that appear to transcend mainstream science”s understanding of time, space, and energy. In addition, it provides a masterful overview of serious research programs involving telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and related topics. The Outline of Parapsychology demonstrates why this field of study is neither a superstition nor a pseudoscience, but a frontier science with profound implications for the understanding of Nature. — Stanley Krippner Ph.D
