Relationship between longevity and lifeline: a manual study of 100 patients. (2/8)

The relationship between length of lifeline and age at death has been evaluated in 100 consecutive autopsies. A highly significant association between the two was discovered which was strengthened further when hand size was controlled for. We feel that a powerful new prognostic sign may thus be within grasp.  (+info)

Policing epistemic deviance: Albert Von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll(1). (5/8)

Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862-1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862-1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an 'occult complex'. Moll's analysis concluded that parapsychologists vouching for the reality of supernormal phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and materialisations, suffered from a morbid will to believe, which paralysed their critical faculties and made them cover obvious mediumistic fraud. Using Moll's treatment of Schrenck-Notzing as an historical case study of boundary disputes in science and medicine, this essay traces the career of Schrenck-Notzing as a researcher in hypnotism, sexology and parapsychology; discusses the relationship between Moll and Schrenck-Notzing; and problematises the pathologisation and defamation strategies of deviant epistemologies by authors such as Moll.  (+info)

'Trick', 'manipulation' and 'farce': Albert Moll's critique of occultism. (6/8)

In July 1925, the psychiatrist Albert Moll appeared before the district court in Berlin-Schoneberg charged with having defamed the medium Maria Vollhardt (alias Rudloff) in his 1924 book Der Spiritismus [Spiritism]. Supported by some of Berlin's most prominent occultists, the plaintiff--the medium's husband--argued that Moll's use of terms such as 'trick', 'manipulation' and 'farce' in reference to Vollhardt's phenomena had been libellous. In the three-part trial that followed, however, Moll's putative affront to the medium--of which he was eventually acquitted--was overshadowed, on the one hand, by a debate over the scientific status of parapsychology, and on the other, by the question of who--parapsychologists, occultists, psychiatrists or jurists--was entitled to claim epistemic authority over the occult. This paper will use the Rudloff-Moll trial as a means of examining Moll's critique of occultism, not only as it stood in the mid-1920s, but also as it had developed since the 1880s. It will also provide insight into the views of Germany's occultists and parapsychologists, who argued that their legitimate bid for scientific credibility was hindered by Dunkelmanner [obscurantists] such as Albert Moll.  (+info)

Near-death experiences. (8/8)

Reactions to claims of near-death experiences (NDE) range from the popular view that this must be evidence for life after death, to outright rejection of the experiences as, at best, drug induced hallucinations or, at worse, pure invention. Twenty years, and much research, later, it is clear that neither extreme is correct.  (+info)

Parapsychology is not a term that has a medical definition per se, as it is not a field that is recognized by mainstream medicine. It is an interdisciplinary field that studies the nature of psychic phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, near-death experiences, and reincarnation.

Parapsychology is often considered a branch of psychology, but it is not universally accepted as a legitimate field of study by the scientific community. Many scientists and skeptics argue that there is little empirical evidence to support the existence of psychic phenomena, and that parapsychological research lacks rigor and is prone to bias and methodological flaws.

Nonetheless, some researchers continue to investigate these phenomena using controlled experiments and statistical analyses, with the goal of better understanding the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world.
