A COUNSELING APPROACH TO PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE

Abstract

In the light of increasing public, professional and scientific interest in parapsychology, counselors, psychologists and other professionals might expect to receive more inquiries from persons who have had apparent psychic experiences, These people may seek assistance in understanding such experiences or in coping with their reactions to them. In fact, therapists, clients, or anyone may have an experience of this nature-an apparent premonition, a dream that gives formerly unknown information, an out-of-the-body experience, or physical disturbances in a house with no apparent physical cause. These and similar occurrences may cause fear, confusion, and emotional disturbances which lead people to seek counseling.
