Dissociation: Normal or Abnormal? (open access)

Dissociation: Normal or Abnormal?

Abstract: Recent articles have addressed the question of whether or not the out-of-body experience reported by many people near death is a form of dissociative behavior. If so, is it related to other mental or emotional pathologies or is it a normal protective response to stress? This paper explores the history of dissociation and related terms, uncovering a multiplicity of uses and connotations. New orientations in physics and the rise of the New Science in the form of Chaos Theory allow a plethora of additional interpretations.

ECT: TNT or TLC? A Near-Death Experience Triggered by Electroconvulsive Therapy (open access)

ECT: TNT or TLC? A Near-Death Experience Triggered by Electroconvulsive Therapy

Article reporting an experience in the course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that was indistinguishable from a near-death experience (NDE). Aspects of the experience that had been terrifying for the individual were counterbalanced by her immediate and complete recovery from a suicidal depression. Beyond the transpersonal aspects of her NDE-like experience, the ECT triggered a precognitive vision that materialized two years later.

Abstract: An Italian translation of Greyson's (1983a) NDE Scale was administered to 125 individuals who had been resuscitated at a hospital in Italy.
