Biography of Terence Palmer BA. MA. PhD. CMH. Transpersonal psychologist. Following a career in business, my search for answers relating to the paranormal was initiated during a series of personal mystical experiences whilst living in the mountains of Crete in the early 90’s where I discovered my own gifts as a natural healer. Without any knowledge or explanation for these experiences my quest for answers began with studying for a degree in psychology from Christ Church University College where I learned the basics of scientific method. During the same period I was granted a qualification as a hypnotherapist from the Proudfoot School of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy. After graduation I began working as hypnotherapist with referrals from a general practitioner when I began to encounter patients with challenging symptoms and subjective experiences that did not respond to conventional clinical practice. This meant that I had to extend my search for explanations into areas beyond the conventions of mainstream psychology. I studied at Kent University for a Masters degree in the Study of Mysticism and Religious Experience where my dissertation was entitled, “Dissociation – Mystical and Clinical Perspectives”. During these studies I also trained as a spirit release practitioner with the Hickman Academy and the Spirit Release Foundation where I learned how to treat those who were being adversely affected by discarnate spirit entities. My doctorate was awarded by the University of Bangor for my thesis on the scientific framework of F.W.H. Myers, the 19th century researcher and joint founder of the Society for Psychical Research. I am a member of the Society for Psychical Research, the International Society for the Study of Dissociation and Trauma, the Scientific and Medical Network, the Spirit Release Foundation and the Royal Society of Medicine. I am particularly interested in research into the phenomenology of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia and the treatment of Tourette's syndrome.
