Harvey J. Irwin’s Australian parapsychology research on out-of-body experiences

Record summary

Harvey J. Irwin was an Australian psychologist and parapsychology researcher whose work included out-of-body experiences, paranormal belief and the psychology of anomalous experience. His Australian academic setting makes him a useful lead for locating surveys, theoretical papers and discussions available before 1990. The research is important for comparison because it treats OBEs both as reported experiences and as psychological data, rather than automatically accepting or rejecting their perceived external reality. Exact article titles, dates and institutional affiliations should be verified through bibliographic databases and University of New England records.
