COMMENT:Hansel, psychologist and CSICOP fellow, is known as an especially unsympathetic critic of psychical research. His arguments rely primarily on methodological criticisms of what are considered to be the best representatives of psi experiments, and, most controversially, on uncovering possibilities of fraud in experiments. This volume includes material on classics such as Pearce-Pratt and Soal-Goldney experiments, and the more contemporary work on ganzfeld, remote viewing and automated PK research. His general line of criticism is one that any appraisal of psi must take into account, though it is often caricaturized as a "if there can be fraud there must be" position.
