Bibliographies on Parapsychology (Psychoenergetics) and Related Subjects — USSR

This document, published by the U.S. Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS) on March 28, 1972, serves as a comprehensive bibliography of Soviet research in the field of parapsychology, which the compilers refer to as 'psychoenergetics.' The document is divided into several sections, covering topics such as general parapsychology, the biophysical effect, bioenergetics, brain capacities, dermo-optic sensitivity, electric and magnetic fields of living organisms, the system of the yogis, autogenic training, and heliobiology. The bibliography includes monographs, surveys, and articles published over a 70-year period, primarily within the Soviet Union, but also including foreign literature on Soviet research. The compilers, E. K. Naumov, L. V. Vilenskaya, and I. V. Klychnikov, note that they compiled this work due to the interest of Soviet scientists in experimental and theoretical research abroad and the lack of a complete bibliographical listing of such literature in the USSR. The document also includes an appendix listing important parapsychology journals from various countries and a section on foreign literature regarding Soviet research. The compilers express their gratitude to foreign colleagues and institutions for maintaining scientific contacts with Soviet investigators. The document concludes with an address in Moscow for readers to send comments or additions.
