PSYCHIC AND SPIRITUAL HEALING
with STANLEY KRIPPNER, Ph.D.
"JEFFREY MISHLOVE, Ph.D.: Hello and welcome. With me today is Dr. Stanley Krippner. Dr. Krippner is one of the country's foremost scholars in the field of parapsychology and consciousness studies, and we'll be discussing "Psychic and Spiritual Healing." Stanley is a professor of psychology at Saybrook Institute in San Francisco, where he is also the director of the Center for Consciousness Studies. He is a past president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and also a past president of the Parapsychological Association. He is the co-author, with Dr. Alberto Villoldo, of two books in the area of psychic and spiritual healing, Healing States, and also The Realms of Healing. Welcome, Stanley.
STANLEY KRIPPNER, Ph.D.: Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
MISHLOVE: It's a pleasure to have you here. I'm sorry I had to stop short a little bit enumerating all of your many credentials, and the numerous other books and undoubtedly hundreds of other articles that you've written. I know you have an enormous depth, particularly in the fields of psychic and spiritual healing. I think it's important, in starting out, that we point out a fact that isn't often discussed when people think of healing, and that is that paranormal forms of healing have been studied in laboratories, with impressive results.
KRIPPNER: Yes. The reason that they go into the laboratories is that there are a number of problems in studying patients who go to a faith healer, or who have been worked on by a folk healer in some foreign country. Many of these people get well, but you don't know if the recovery was due to chance, what we call a spontaneous remission; whether it was due to the powers of suggestion; or whether it was due to their work with an allopathic physician before they went to the alternative healer. So a number of experiments have been done that look at laboratory-controlled attempts to change living organisms in some way or another. The best way to talk about that is perhaps to start with the work of Bernard Grad, who is a biologist and physiologist in Canada."
