Richard Reichbart, JD, PhD, is a training and supervising psychoanalyst. For thirty five years, he has maintained a private practice for the treatment of adults, adolescents and children in Northern New Jersey. In addition, he is a short story writer, a parapsychologist, and a poet. He is author of The Paranormal Surrounds Us: Psychic Phenomena in Literature, Culture, and Psychoanalysis. Prior to his career in psychology, he worked as an attorney focusing on civil rights and native American issues.

Here he suggests that great writers portray psychic phenomena in a realistic manner. This fact is generally ignored by both parapsychologists and literary critics. He focuses on Shakespeare’s Hamlet in which Hamlet applied parapsychological principles in order to determine whether the ostensible ghost of his father was real and whether the information conveyed by the ghost was accurate. He also describes shared dream experiences in both Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and James Joyce’s Ulysses.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
