Abstract

Treated the spontaneous behavior and themes that emerge in an unstructured, quasi-psychotherapeutic group session as the medium of psi response in 3 series of sessions in which randomly selected pictures served as targets. When the members' ratings of the target pictures were contrasted with their ratings of the control pictures, there was psi-hitting in a pilot series. In 2 confirmatory series, overall hitting was not significant, but the hitting rate showed a predicted relationship with ratings of session quality. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach to free -response ESP research are noted.
