Exceptional Experiences - Psychic Healing

Here is the presentation for the final 'exceptional experiences' section of Anomalistic Psychology.

The specification says:
Research into exceptional experience
-Psychological research into and explanations for psychic healing, near death and out of body experiences, and psychic mediumship
Today we looked at psychic healing, in particular three studies which appear to show evidence of psychic healing working in placebo-controlled (single-blind) trials, but with reason to doubt the findings of each one.

Read more about Sicher and Targ's study here.

Here is more detail on the 'miracle study' into prayer and infertility.

I set this exam question for next Wednesday:
“Discuss what research into exceptional experience has shown us about psychic healing” – 4 + 6 marks

Prepare it for as long as you like, then spend no more than 20 minutes writing it.
