Summary
This book critiques conventional parapsychological viewpoints about extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK), collectively referred to as ’psi’.
Since the 1930s, an over-arching view on psi has been built on J. B. Rhine’s theories and research at Duke University. The author argues that there are fundamental problems with the psi paradigm, and offers solutions based largely on Jung’s Theory of Synchronicity, treating the subject matter in a rigorous scientific way.

Critics Review
“A New Approach to Psi offers an updated treatise on synchronicity that takes a considerably more evidence-based approach to the presentation, as well as integrates Jung’s ideas with key findings from modern experimental parapsychology…. To my knowledge, no previous article or text has presented this type of in-depth analysis. In doing so, it offers researchers and philosophers a new way of modeling or approaching psi-type phenomena.”
James Houran, PhD, Research Director at Integrated Knowledge Systems (USA), Research Professor at the Laboratory of Statistics and Computation at the Instituto Politécnico de Gestão e Tecnologia (Portugal), and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Scientific Exploration.
“This book could be a game changer for parapsychology. After decades of scholarly and experimental work in the field, Lance Storm concludes that the long-known “tricksterish” problems associated with the entrenched Rhinean approach to studying psi will remain intractable unless there is a radical reframing of the discipline in the more holistic terms of synchronicity. Storm makes his case with great patience, subtlety, and authority, and the vision he presents is both compelling and liberating.”
Professor Roderick Main, author of The Rupture of Time: Synchronicity and Jung’s Critique of Modern Western Culture
