About Dutch Society for Psychical Research

"..... we are not intending to arrange sensational stage performances like those of Rubini, nor do we want to supply information that comforts the need for higher or lower emotions, or to satisfy the need for consoling views and nervous tremblances, but we want to study the relevant phenomena in a scientific and objective way......." as said by Prof. dr. G Heymans at the birth of the Dutch chapter of the SPR in 1917. The goal of the SPR is to stimulate research into so called paranormal phenomena using generally accepted scientific methods. The SPR is disseminating results of this research, independent of the outcome and with the relativistic footnotes that are an intrinsic part of the scientific enterprise. The Dutch SPR pulishes The Periodical on Parapsychology & Consciousness-research (TvP: Tijdschrift voor Parapsychologie & Bewustzijnsonderzoek) four times a year.
