Reviews

[Erik Graff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Upon starting to seriously study C.G. Jung and analytical psychology I also delved into related fields. Jung's dissertation, for instance, concerned matter that in more recent years has come under the rubric of parapsychology and the dean of the academic side of such study in the USA was J.B. Rhine of Duke University. Consequently I began to search out his books.

This old title was found in a musty bookstore in the Andersonville neighborhood on Chicago's north side. Representing much of the early ESP at Duke, it's written for the general reader.

it has to do with the probability of correctly naming the card held by the observer (re: Esp). after one hundred pages, nothing new happens.
