“…It was a first step toward a clinical approach in this domain by shedding light on the necessity to account for the existence of such human experiences. A more clinical approach was developed in psychoanalytical circles who have expressed an interest in these experiences from their outset, in particular with the seminal writings of Freud, Ferenczi, and Jung about telepathy and occultism ( Rabeyron et al, 2020 ). At this time, psychoanalysts were particularly interested in the spontaneous occurrences of telepathic phenomena shared with their analysands and catalyzed by the regression induced by the psychoanalytical setting.…”

In this paper, we propose a clinical approach to the counseling of distressing subjective paranormal experiences, usually referred to as anomalous or exceptional experiences in the academic field. These experiences are reported by a large part of the population, yet most mental health practitioners have not received a specific training in listening constructively to these experiences. This seems all the more problematic since nearly one person in two find it difficult to integrate such experiences, which can be associated with different forms of psychological suffering. After having described briefly several clinical approaches already developed in this area, we outline the main aspects of clinical practice with people reporting exceptional experiences, in particular the characteristics of the clinician’s attitude toward the narrative of unusual events. We then present the core components of a Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focused on Anomalous Experiences (PPAE) based on three main steps: phenomenological exploration, subjective inscription and subjective integration of the anomalous experience. Such an approach, based on a non-judgmental and open listening, favors the transformation of the ontological shock that often follows the anomalous experiences into a potential source of integration and psychological transformation.

“…These engage with the themes of non-representational and affective approaches. Specifically citing the insights of relationality, the transpersonal, extended mind, combined with assumptions of mental, affective and physiological porosity and attunement (De Peyer, 2016; Farber, 2017) as well as developments regarding mirror neurons, inter-subjectivity and telepathy (Rabeyron et al, 2020). Farber (2017), as a case in point, describes telepathy as unconscious-to-unconscious transfers of affect.…”

“…Like the meditations proffered by Myers, Barrett, Atkinson, Warcollier and Rhine Feather, statements of relational porosity are often tempered. We are not psychologically and physiologically bounded entities cut off from the world (Rabeyron et al, 2020). But neither are we completely open to, and hopelessly buffeted by, the flows of telepathic or affective energies from other beings and the environment.…”

Writing telepathy back into marketing theory

Adopting a commitment to the principle of heterogeneity, combined with a concern for subjugated and disqualified knowledge, we unravel the debates around telepathy and telementation in marketing theory and practice. We explicate the conditions of possibility for these deliberations, focusing on the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). A close reading of the scholarly outputs published by members of the SPR helps us unpack the theoretical assumptions underwriting telepathy via the concept of the subliminal self. This material forms the foundations for William Walker Atkinson’s ‘practical occultism’. We review Atkinson’s work, making the case that telepathy was central to exerting personal influence. Our account thus diverges markedly from extant histories of influence. Attention is then turned to the jettisoning of telepathic linkages. Changes in discourse reflect ‘epistemological deflation’ in combination with ‘counter-reversal’. Nonetheless, telepathic and telementative assumptions remain central to our understanding of sales and marketing communications. The same can be said of consumer research. Telepathy may also impact our future in a novel, ‘synthetic’ form.
