It is a field of psychology which studies unique experiences and unknown capabilities of the human mind. Paranormal is a general term that describes unusual experiences that lack a scientific explanation, or phenomena alleged to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure. Parapsychology for the first time was coined by psychologist Max Dessoir in 1889. It was then adopted by J.B. Rhine in the 1930s as a replacement for the term psychical research to refer to the scientific study of paranormal phenomena. The paranormal refers to the study of behaviors, events or perceptions that seem to be explainable in terms of our everyday understanding or known scientific principles. The word parapsychology is said to have its origin from the Greek word 'para' a prefix which means beyond, and psychology derived from the Greek word 'psyche' which means mind and 'logos' which means science. From a scientific perspective, such parapsychological phenomena are called anomalous because they are difficult to explain within current scientific models. This field suggests that the human consciousness is capable of interacting with the physical world in a way that is not yet recognized by science but it's not even beyond the science's ability to investigate. Many people have a common misconception that a parapsychologist is a psychic but it's not so as a child psychiatrist cannot be a child! So a parapsychologist is a scientist or scholar who is seriously interested in the "paranormal." Parapsychology only studies those anomalies that fall into one of three general categories: ESP, psychokinesis, and phenomena suggestive of survival after bodily death, including near-death experiences, apparitions, and reincarnation. J.B Rine for the 1 st time proposed a Parapsychological Association (PA) on June 19, 1957 to advance parapsychology as a science, to circulate its knowledge, and to integrate the findings with those of other branches of science. Afterwards in 1969 it got associated with American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
