Toward a Psychological Explanation of Near-Death Experiences: A Response to Dr. Grosso's Paper (open access)

Toward a Psychological Explanation of Near-Death Experiences: A Response to Dr. Grosso's Paper

From introduction: "Michael Grosso, in his elegant review of various hypotheses intended to explain near-death experiences as reductionistic and unable to account adequately for the NDE. The present paper is a restatement of the case for psychological interpretations of the NDE; it is intended to forestall the premature rejection of psychodynamic approaches to the study of NDEs."

Near Death Experiences in a Pacific Northwest American Population: The Evergreen Study (open access)

Near Death Experiences in a Pacific Northwest American Population: The Evergreen Study

The Centrality of Near-Death Experiences in Chinese Pure Land Buddhism (open access)

The Centrality of Near-Death Experiences in Chinese Pure Land Buddhism

[...] This paper is a preliminary report on the status of NDEs in Pure Land Buddhism in China, and is an important contribution to cross-cultural research for several reasons" (pp. 154-155).

The Near-Death Experience: Myth or Reality? A Methodological Approach (open access)

The Near-Death Experience: Myth or Reality? A Methodological Approach

This paper discusses the effort to find an objective means of evaluating near-death experiences (NDEs). A study of "one hundred and sixteen near-death survivors have been interviewed in this study" (abstract). The author's mechanism for determining the authenticity of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) requires that individuals recall details that are specific to the events that surrounded their physical body during the duration of their OBE, and the individual must have no physical means of gaining sensory information about their surroundings.

Unresolved Problems in the Study of Near-Death Experiences: Some Suggestions for Research and Theory
