About This Book

Nandor Fodor was a British and American parapsychologist, psychoanalyst, author and journalist of Hungarian origin.Fodor was one of the leading authorities on poltergeists, haunting and paranormal phenomena usually associated with mediumship. Fodor, who was at one time Sigmund Freud's associate, wrote on subjects like prenatal development and dream interpretation, but is credited mostly for his magnum opus, Encyclopedia of Psychic Science, first published in 1934. Fodor was the London correspondent for the American Society for Psychical Research (1935-1939). He worked as an editor for the Psychoanalytic Review and was a member of the New York Academy of Sciences.Fodor in the 1930s embraced paranormal phenomena but by the 1940s took a break from his previous work and advocated a psychoanalytic approach to psychic phenomena. He published skeptical newspaper articles on mediumship, which caused an opposition from spiritualists.CAN A GHOST BE EXORCISED BY PSYCHOTHERAPY?ARE POLTERGEISTS A FORM OF ADOLESCENT SEX RUN RAMPANT?CAN THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND EXIST OUTSIDE THE BODY?CAN PSYCHIATRY CONTROL MAGIC?You are with Dr. Nandor Fodor, prominent psychoanalyst and psychic researcher, as he travels the strange territory between the mind and the supernatural. You feel with him the bone-breaking grip of a medium writhing in trance. You overhear his conversation with his dead father and his reasoning with a tortured ghost. You share in his analysis of fantastic case histories as he brings science to bear on a subject that has been shrouded in superstition.Dr. Fodor refuses to explain away the occult. As Director of Research for the International Institute for Psychical Research he exposed many a fraud, but he also witnessed phenomena that would convince the most skeptical. His investigation of the interplay between the psychological and the psychical offers an overwhelming new view into the unknown.
