Biography
LeShan holds degrees in human development from the University of Chicago, the University of Nebraska, and The College of William & Mary. She also holds a master's degree from the University of Nebraska. In addition to Roosevelt University and the New School for Social Research, he also taught at Pace College. He spent more than 50 years in the field of clinical and research psychology, including six years as a psychologist in the US Army. From 1943 to 1946 and from 1950 to 1952, he served in the military.
LeShan carried out a lot of parapsychology study in the 1960s and 1970s. He looked into the paranormal, mystical philosophy, and quantum physics in his book The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the Paranormal. [3] LeShan wrote the book with the intention of testing his theory of "clairvoyant reality." He claimed that the experiments were successful and that he could heal others using mental force. As a result of nine of his students' eight attempts to use a clairvoyant training technique and their collective scores of four to five misses, Tim Healey concluded that the results were not convincing. [3]
LeShan developed his theories on the paranormal in World of the Paranormal: The Next Frontier, where he asserted that quantum physics may account for psychic powers including clairvoyance, precognition, and telepathy.
LeShan's concentration changed in the 1980s to cancer support psychotherapy, a subject in which he is regarded as a pioneer. LeShan was a resident of New York. The late author Eda LeShan, who was married to LeShan, was also a writer. [4] He passed away in 2020 at the age of 100.
