Landmark Articles in Near-Death Research This volume is the first of a new book series that draws on landmark articles published in the Journal of Near-Death Studies (JNDS) to provide an overview of the past four decades of basic research within the field of near-death studies. The anthology of which this volume is part covers the broad spectrum of scientific and academic work published by the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and addresses, arguably, some of the most pressing and relevant questions on the nature of near-death experiences (NDEs). By presenting research over the past nearly forty years, this book also offers insights into the history and foundation of ideas within near-death research. This volume provides a systematic overview—a map—of what scholars have achieved so far within conceptual and phenomenological research in the field. It identifies how nearly forgotten or neglected earlier research trends might inspire and enrich current research and points toward areas still left to be covered. The focus of the chapters moves consecutively from articles on epistemology—How do we approach the phenomenon of NDEs?, to phenomenology—What is the experience of an NDE like?, to ontology—What are NDEs, and who has them?, and, finally, to the wider implications—What do NDEs really mean?. For all serious students and scholars interested in the field of near-death studies, this collection of some of the most important articles published in the Journal of Near-Death Studies over the last nearly forty years is a must — an indispensable and invaluable resource. Of particular value is the brilliant and incisive historical overview of the field by the editor of this volume, Alexander Batthyány. -- Kenneth Ring, PhD, author of Lessons from the Light This wonderful book offers a great opportunity, not only for scientists, philosophers, psychologists and physicians, but also for near-death experiencers and the public, to have a better understanding of the implications and results of NDE research. -- Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life This incredibly insightful book is long overdue. The ground-breaking articles presented in this volume informed how future near-death research was conducted and enabled refinement of methods. A ‘must read’ for anyone interested in this field. -- Penny Sartori, PhD, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences A landmark collection of seminal studies that will be invaluable to neophyte and experienced NDE researchers alike—in one of the most important subjects of evidence-based science and philosophical studies. -- John C. Hagan III, MD, editor of The Science of Near-Death Experiences

An ambitious project, this book offers an organized, comprehensive, and invaluable compilation of relevant research material regarding meaning in life -- the central axis of logotherapy. For those who are interested specifically in the work of Viktor Frankl, the book’s place in the libraryshould be easily accessible because it will be pulled from the shelf again and again. For those who are not as familiar with his truly expansive perspective, the book will clarify Frankl’s place in the field of contemporary psychotherapy and his enduring influence around the world. Batthyany and Guttmann have divided their presentation into three parts. In the first, readers will find studies on the scope, depth, and sources of meaning in everyday life, as well as across a variety of situations. The second part introduces findings related to logotherapy and psychopathology, and the entries in the third section consider the validity, reliability, and structure of logotherapeutic test instruments, or deal on some level withmeta-research on logotherapy. A relevant resource for the classroom or the private study, Empirical Research in Logotherapy and Meaning-Oriented Psychotherapy: An Annotated Bibliography celebrates the most profound aspects of psychotherapeutic exploration.

As Jay I. Levinson, Ph.D., former Special Assistant to Viktor E. Frankl, and co-editor of this essential new volume, says in his foreword, It was always Frankl s wish ... that he not be seen as the great guru, meaning the only and/or ultimate authority on existential psychiatry. Rather, Frankl encouraged others to build on his theories, expand the literature and further serve humankind. Thus, the 30 chapters contained here allow readers access not only to the contributions of Viktor Frankl but to the grand extrapolations that have been made by those who have learned from him. Like a force of nature, the Logotherapy paradigm shows us the vision in its roots and the core in its branches. Editors Batthyany and Levinson have divided the chapters into four sections Theoretical and Philosophical Perspectives, Expanding Logotherapy in Theory and Practice, Principles of Treatment and New Applications, Research in Logotherapy and an international panel of contributors has filled them with rich, multifaceted perspectives. The specific and the general dovetail to clarify the philosophical basis and clinical applications of Frankl s Logotherapy, as well as possible future directions.
