Para Psychology ~ WHY not these terms being promoted?

Posted on January 7, 2010 by admin

I’m not kidding. I respect parapsychology at least as a hypothesis. And a new decade begins…

# Clinical Para-Psychologist
# Para-Hypnotherapist
# Para-Psychotherapist
# Para-Councellor

Especially in an age where terms like ‘PLR therapy (Past Life Regression)’ and ‘Spiritual Healing’ have already become widely popular.

Google Dr. Brian Weiss, for example, for the PLR therapy.

It is a matter of semantics. For instance, rather than calling someone a Para-Psychologist, they may be called Spiritual Counselors. Terms may often change for the same profession. There will rarely, at least for now, be scientific evidence of the paranormal. Asking for such evidence would be akin to asking for scientific evidence of God.

So the only aspect that has changed are the terms used for the various professions and this is often what is "in" at the moment. They are very much alive and well and growing in popularity and acceptance every day.

    There has never been any research evidence which solidly supports parapsychology. There have been research endeavours at major universities which looked at parapsychology. Duke University had a research program some 30 or 40 years ago. It just never went anywhere. Past LIfe Regression is an example of a "therapy" which has no real support for its legitimacy. See research by Nicholas Spanos which actually uses scientific method and is peer reviewed (as opposed to Brian Weiss, whose "research" involves neither.

    There is a definite lack of evidence.
    Tiy ask "why?" Reason, my take, much of the public, including professionals especially, think of parapsychology or para-anything as similar to Bigfoot and UFOs.
    I am open to the possibilities, but many are not.
