Frightening near-death experiences revisited: A commentary on responses to my paper by Christopher Bache and Nancy Evans Bush.

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Kenneth Ring 2 citations

Abstract: In this commentary, I discuss the responses to my paper on frightening near-death experiences (NDEs) written by Christopher Bache and Nancy Evans Bush, and I try to show that there are many points of agreement among us all. While Bache and I saw the ontological status of frightening NDEs differently than did Bush, all of us agreed on the psychological reality and importance of these...

Misidentified flying objects? An integrated psychodynamic perspective on near-death experiences and UFO abductions.

Journal of Near-Death Studies 1994 Stuart W. Twemlow 3 citations

Article proposing an integrated psychodynamic perspective to account in part for a variety of similarities between near-death experiences and UFO abductions. The psychodynamic psychology of these experiences implies that their "realness" is mainly a function of that psychology, rather than primarily of an objectifiable external reality. Clinical and research examples highlight the theoretical...

Life satisfaction, life review, and near-death experiences in the elderly.

Journal of Holistic Nursing December 1993 M Olson, P Dulaney

When 145 senior citizens living independently in the community were surveyed for incidence of near-death experiences (NDEs), 46 of the seniors believed they had had a "close call" with death. Twelve of those reported that they had had an unusual experience during their close call and were subsequently interviewed. Their stories were evaluated using research criteria to document sufficient...

Varieties of Near-Death Experience

Psychiatry November 1, 1993 Bruce Greyson 52 citations

Near-death experiences are profound subjective events frequently reported by individuals who have come close to death. They are of importance to mental health professionals, not only because they often happen to patients under our care, but because they have been reported to produce widespread and long-lasting changes in values, beliefs, and behavior that dramatically affect the experiencers'...

Risk management in hypnotic recall of near-death experiences.

American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis July 1993 J M Holden, F MacHovec

A substantial number of people facing physical and/or psychological crisis report having a near-death experience (NDE) involving a subjectively real experience of an alternate reality. Where NDE content is associated with positive emotions, benefit might be gained by hypnotic recall of the NDE, yet such recall might involve possible risk in the form of reactivation of the original crisis. In...

Exploring the mystery of near-death experiences.

AJN, American Journal of Nursing May 1, 1993 S B Schoenbeck

r. Graham is dying of cancer. He slips in and out of consciousness. Yet the words his nurse bends to hear are clear and firm: I spoke with my wife today, he says with a smile. She's waiting for me. His wife died two years ago. People who are dying or who have returned from clinical death tell amazingly similar stories about the experience. They speak, for example, of their spirit leaving their...

"Nigh unto Death": NDE Research and the Book of Mormon

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies April 1, 1993 Kevin Christensen 6 citations

Abstract This article suggests that contemporary near-death research casts light on several episodes in the Book of Mormon. Alma’s conversion while "nigh unto death" fits a common pattern of experience. Modern researchers have noticed distinctive aftereffects among NDErs. In the Book of Mormon, both Alma and the resurrected Christ demonstrate these aftereffects. Lehi’s dream invites comparison...

Otherworld personal future revelations in near-death experiences

Journal of Near-Death Studies March 1, 1993 C. R. Lundahl

Kenneth Ring (1982) described two kinds of precognitive visions in the near-death experience (NDE): the personal flashforward and the prophetic vision. I describe a third category, the otherworld personal future revelation (OPFR). The OPFR resembles the personal flashforward in that it previews the experiencer's personal future, but differs from the personal flash-forward in that it is...
