Grenzüberschreitungen
Beiträge zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung außergewöhnlicher Erfahrungen und Phänomene
[Crossing frontiers. Contributions to the scientific exploration of exceptional experiences and phenomena]
Edited by Eberhard Bauer and Michael Schetsche
On behalf of the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health (IGPP)
The intention of this series is to inform a wide audience,
beyond specific scientific and academic communities, in German-speaking
countries about current results and problems of research in frontier
areas.
The series is supposed to document aswell as to set standards in the
scientific exploration of paranormal and other extraordinary
experiences and phenomena. The intended high academic level
of contributions will be combined with a high degree of
comprehensibility even outside the corresponding specialized subject
areas.
For years to come contributions from various scientific disciplines as
well as interdisciplinary works shall be published in regular sequence
- monographs - anthologies - conference reports. The focus wil
be on socio-scientific, cultural-studies and humanities perpectives of
the frontier sciences and anomaly research.
