Hearing voices or seeing images is much more common than one might think. Nevertheless, mainstream psychiatry still approaches such 'hallucinations' as signs of a mental disorder. This book shows how outdated this view really is. Experiential expert Tilly Gerritsma shares her experiences with hearing voices and related phenomena and describes how she has learned to deal with them, helped by her main, positive voice. She shows that hearing voices may offer a potential for psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth. Psychologist and philosopher Titus Rivas gives a concise overview of theories about hallucinations. He rejects one-sided bio-psychiatric theories and favors alternatives, such as social psychiatry. He stresses the reality and normality of psychic phenomena. People with paranormal experiences have not gone mad.
Verrassende psyche is een bundel parapsychologische artikelen van drs. Titus Rivas en Anny Dirven (1935-2016), geschreven in opdracht van Stichting Athanasia. De bundel toont aan dat de psyche zich in de praktijk niet laat inperken door het dominante wereldbeeld. De mogelijkheden, herkomst en bestemming van de psyche zijn veel verrassender dan ontologische materialisten ons willen doen geloven.
Zestien artikelen van drs. Titus Rivas, verbonden aan Stichting Athanasia en Stichting Merkawah, rond parapsychologisch onderzoek naar een persoonlijk voortbestaan na de fysieke dood en reïncarnatie.

Uno scritto che nasce dalla volont� di fare il punto della situazione sulle esperienze di premorte, ad un quarantennio dalla loro diffusione ed ampia conoscenza presso l'opinione pubblica (grazie al best-seller di Moody), tenendo conto anche del fatto che, verosimilmente, esse rappresentano la fenomenologia pi� importante e specifica a suggerimento, se non a dimostrazione, della sopravvivenza di un "quid" alla morte fisica: il che, nei nostri tempi d'imperante materialismo nell'establishment culturale e scientifico, assume una particolare rilevanza, di pi� ancora se, con dono di sintesi, le si sa considerare assieme ad altri fenomeni significativi, come suggerito nel testo stesso.
Autobiografisch boekje van Huub Janssen (pseudoniem) met een nadruk op zijn ervaringen met de psychiatrie. Psycholoog en filosoof drs. Titus Rivas stelt relevante vragen bij het levensverhaal van Huub. Het werk sluit af met de emancipatie van Huub van zijn afhankelijkheid van de GGz.
Are near-death experiences (NDEs) just elaborate hallucinations produced by a dying brain? Or the exuberant fantasies of attention-seeking narcissists? As the accounts in this book abundantly demonstrate: Neither! This book contains over 100 reliable, often firsthand accounts of perceptions during NDEs that were later verified as accurate by independent sources. These near-death experiencers were everyday people from all over the world-many of whom were clinically dead, unable to see or hear, and yet able to perceive new vistas of a world beyond the senses and even beyond death. "The Self Does Not Die" is a trailblazing effort to present the most confirmed cases of consciousness beyond death...
Based on George Engel’s model, The Biopsychosocial Formulation Manual presents ways to help psychiatry residents and students effectively gather and organize patient data to arrive at a complete mental health history in a limited timeframe. While most current models only take one factor into account, Campbell and Rohrbaugh emphasize and analyze three essential components (biological, social, and psychological). The process of identifying pertinent data for each component of the biopsychosocial formulation is explicated in detail. A separate section outlines how to use the biopsychosocial formulation to generate treatment recommendations. This volume includes a complete package for practicing the biopsychosocial method; this easy-to-use guide includes a data record sheet and downloadable resources to facilitate organization and assessment, appealing to both the psychiatric professional and the trainee.
The Matrix of Consciousness is a scientific look at consciousness in all its manifestations. In many of its manifestations it transcends the 3 spatial dimensions and the one temporal dimension that define our everyday reality. This book is about how new discoveries are changing how we view ourselves and our impending deaths. In our evolving view of consciousness and reality, our death most likely means being born into a different state of cognition. This matrix of consciousness introduces a new real science, the science of reincarnation, which is incorporated into this emerging matrix as part of the information and spatial topology. The upload and download of consciousness after death and be...
Reincarnation as a Scientific Concept focuses on the question of whether reincarnation should be recognized as a serious subject by the contemporary scientific community. After a historical overview of the psychical research into reincarnation memories, the authors present well-documented cases that have been studied by scholars from East and West. The authors place themselves in the tradition of American psychiatrists Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker and their Indian predecessors, as well as colleagues such as the late Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson, Dr. Satwant Pasricha and anthropologist James Matlock. Dr. Rawat has independently studied many children with memories of a past life in Asia, including ...
