If you have an active interest in parapsychology, consider joining the Parapsychological Association (PA). Your membership will support the scientific study of psi (or ‘psychic’) experiences and give you access to our unique resources for the study of parapsychology.

Founded in 1957, the PA is the international professional body of scientists and scholars whose primary objective is to achieve a scientific understanding of psi and related phenomena. This unique organization provides an international forum for scholarly exchange through its website, annual conventions, and its publication Mindfield: The Bulletin of the Parapsychological Association.

Anyone who has an active interest in the scientific and scholarly advancement of parapsychology is invited to join as Supporting Member. With the recent rise of interest in the paranormal, especially spontaneous psi-type experiences such as apparitions, hauntings and poltergeists, it is hoped that those interested in these phenomena will join the PA, both to support the field and to enjoy our exclusive membership benefits.

Active researchers who have graduated from a recognized academic institution should consider applying as an Associate or Professional Member. We also welcome high school and college students and provide a reduced rate for them. 

As a member of the PA, you will receive an electronic copy of Mindfield three times a year and receive pdfs of the latest Journal of Parapsychology twice a year. You will also receive discounts on annual PA conventions and online access to an archive of convention proceedings and presentations videoed in years past.

If you have an interest in the scientific study of psi as it’s studied in the lab or in real life, and want to have a better understanding of these experiences and phenomena, consider joining the Parapsychological Association today.
