Purdue University has recently awarded a Ph.D. degree to a candidate whose thesis was entitled "Affective Assessment in a Psi Task." Other universities granting degrees in or having courses in psychoenergetics are shown in Exhibit 5. University laboratories doing psychoenergetic R&D are shown in Exhibits 6 and 7. These are all major universities and they are scattered throughout the United States. In every instance, the effort is allied with a science--psychology and physics being the most common. (U) Its inclusion by the AAAS is further evidence} that the study of psychoenergetics is gaining acceptance as a science. The issue of whether parapsychology is or is not a science was hotly debated by the members of the AAAS in 1969; the result was the admission of the Parapsychological Association as an affiliated organization. The acceptance by this austere group of scientists from every conceivable scientific field lends great credence to the claim that parapsychology is, in fact, a science. (U) Next, we should review the credentials of the investigators. The researchers at SRI and their field of endeavor are shown in Exhibit 8. As can be seen, science is a key element in the researchers’ background. The researchers have been trained in disciplines that prescribe a way of 10 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001800210001-0
