Psychiatry and the Spirit World: True Stories on the Survival of Consciousness After Death
 
Description
Psychiatry and the Spirit World by Dr Alan Sanderson, a consultant psychiatrist, is a groundbreaking and courageous exploration of the boundary between mental health and spiritual experience. Drawing upon decades of clinical practice, Sanderson presents cases that challenge purely materialistic views of the mind and offer compelling evidence for the survival of consciousness after death.
