Deviant Science: The Case of Parapsychology examines the controversial field of parapsychology, exploring its methods, findings, and place within the broader scientific community.

James McClenon uses a sociological perspective to analyze the challenges and criticisms faced by parapsychologists, and the reasons behind the skepticism of mainstream science.

The book delves into the history of parapsychology, its key figures, and the ongoing debates surrounding topics such as ESP, telekinesis, and psychic phenomena.

It also discusses the social and cultural factors that influence the acceptance or rejection of paranormal research.

McClenon presents a balanced view, encouraging readers to critically evaluate the evidence and arguments from both sides of the debate.
