Unusual experiences of children and adolescents tend to be dismissed as the result of an Evelyn Elsaesser imagination or, more damaging to them, as pathological. With Donna Thomas, young people finally have an advocate who does not conduct research on them but with them. In this book, rooted in the most up-to-date scientific expertise and infused by genuine empathy for the youngsters who have those experiences, a new interpretation framework is proposed, based on the most recent findings in the field of consciousness research. What caring parent will not be delighted to finally have the information needed to better understand their child's unusual perceptions? What responsible professional will not be grateful to have the tools to assess whether therapeutic or pharmacological treatment is really the right way to go? Children's Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World is a groundbreaking work with the potential to fundamentally transform the current clinical practice. It is also a must-read for anyone seeking insights into those unusual phenomena that their children - and they themselves - may one day experience.
