Do Suicide Survivors Report Near-Death Experiences?
OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying May 1, 1982 Kenneth Ring, Stephen Franklin 56 citations
Interviews with 36 people who had been close to death from a suicide attempt found that 17 (47%) reported near-death experiences similar to those described by Raymond Moody. These experiences were more common in men than women. While suicide-related near-death experiences did not differ from other near-death experiences overall, three distinct patterns emerged. The findings are discussed in relation to the concept of ego-death and their potential therapeutic implications.

The Life Changes Inventory-Revised is a standardized scale that captures changes in attitudes and values often reported by people who have had near-death experiences. The scale builds on earlier versions tested across diverse samples and incorporates insights from qualitative research on how such experiences transform perspectives on life, death, and relationships. The inventory provides a reliable tool for measuring these shifts systematically.

Ethnographic Accounts of Ketamine Explorations in Psychedelic Culture
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies July 1, 2014 Kenneth Ring, Ralph Metzner, Philip E. Wolfson 1 citation
The off-label use of ketamine as a mind-altering substance originated not in laboratories but within the psychedelic culture emerging from the 1960s counterculture movement. Without such experimentation, the drug's therapeutic effects might have gone unnoticed and unresearched. Personal accounts, both inspiring and cautionary, reveal cultural contexts where ketamine was found to be much more than a reliable anesthetic.
