Certaines expériences fortes peuvent entraîner une transformation soudaine dans la façon de penser et de voir les choses. Cette modification du paradigme se fait de façon parfois brutale, selon une structure cognition-émotion précise baptisée « syndrome du bernard-l'ermite ». Parmi ces expériences, les phénomènes paranormaux.Certaines expériences fortes peuvent entraîner une transformation soudaine dans la façon de penser et de voir les choses. Cette modification du paradigme se fait de façon parfois brutale, selon une structure cognition-émotion précise baptisée « syndrome du bernard-l'ermite ». Parmi ces expériences, les phénomènes paranormaux – de par leur nature exceptionnelle et souvent traumatisante – sont un terrain favorable à un changement dans la structure d’appréhension du réel qui pourrait être une des clés de compréhension de l’émergence d’une personnalité schizotypique.Plus d’un jeune sur deux rapporte avoir vécu au moins une fois dans sa vie une expérience paranormale. Cet ouvrage s’adresse non seulement à eux mais à tous ceux qui ont le souci ou la charge d’encadrer des adolescents : parents, éducateurs et thérapeutes. S’il s’adresse à un public universitaire, il est néanmoins abordable pour toute personne intéressée par ces questions.

"The present collection of essays is offered as a contribution towards the realization of a sounder interest in and a more intimate appreciation of certain problems upon which psychology has an authoritative charge to make to the public jury ... to show that the sound and profitable interest in mental life is in the usual and normal, and that the resolute pursuit of this interest necessarily results in bringing the apparently irregular phenomena of the mental world within the field of illumination of the more familiar and the law-abiding. They further aim to illustrate that misconceptions in psychology, as in other realms, are as often the result of bad logic as of defective observation, and that both are apt to be called into being by inherent mental prepossessions. Some of the essays are more especially occupied with an analysis of the defective logic which lends plausibility to and induces credence in certain beliefs; others bring forward contributions to an understanding of phenomena about which misconception is likely to arise; still others are presented as psychological investigations which, it is believed, command a somewhat general interest"--Preface.

"This book is intended to afford a complete review of the recent research in extra-sensory perception (ESP), in the light of all of the criticisms that it has drawn. It is the purpose of the authors to include in this survey everything that is of importance to know in deciding whether ESP occurs, and what it is like if it does occur. It is their hope that the presentation will be clear enough to permit a view of the work in proper perspective, and yet technical enough to answer all the relevant questions as far as they have been answered by the results of experiments. The authors have attempted to condense: (a) all the experimental and evaluative methods by which the research has been done and by which its adequacy must be judged; (b) all of the results obtained--grouped, classified, and analyzed so as to enable them to be assayed critically from the point of view of all possible alternatives; (c) a thorough digest of the criticisms, both constructive and otherwise; and (d) all of these as they bear upon the clarified question about which the research is concerned, with as much of an answer to that question as the assembled material permits. In addition--and assuming that ESP occurs--there is given here a summary of all the established and partially established relations of ESP to better-known processes, indicating the relations between ESP and the individual, the relation of ESP to the conditions under which it is tested, indications of its place in the physical and mental worlds, as far as these are shown by the results. And last, for the student, the experimenter, and the forward-looking follower of these experiments, there is a sketch of the outstanding problems that still remain unsolved, the methods under contemplation by which they may possibly be solved, and the further needs and prospects which confront investigators now dealing with ESP and associated problems"--Preface.

The experiments described in this monograph fall into several classes of investigations which are fairly closely related to each other, and which are believed to be of fundamental importance to Psychical Research. They are offered as some slight contribution to science, of interest particularly to those who are more or less technically familiar with Psychical Research; possibly their less technical portions may interest the layman. Herein will be found (1) a statistical method of experiment in Psychical Research which, it is believed, will be acceptable to science and will prove adequate for resolving doubt and controversy concerning the alleged supernormal acquisition of knowledge (telepathy, lucidity or clairvoyance, or communication from discarnate intelligences capable of apprehending facts in our world); and (2) the results of the first applications of this method.

"To compress into a small volume such as the present an outline of psychical research has proved a more formidable task than I anticipated when the Editors asked me to undertake this work. The problems are so new and entangled and the results so startling that it is very difficult to present them in a brief yet readable and convincing form. A superficial sketch of the subject might have been given, but that seemed hardly worthy of the aim which the Editors have in view. I have therefore endeavoured to give a brief survey in separate chapters of the principal lines of work and of the results so far achieved by the Society for Psychical Research"--Preface.
