Instituto de Parapsicologia
Instituto de Parapsicologia
Through the 1950s and 1960s parapsychology enjoyed the support of the Argentine government and spread through the nation's university system. However, by 1970 that support had been withdrawn and all of the courses in the subject had been discontinued except those taught at the University of Salvador. In response to the downturn of events, in 1972 several people at the university founded the Instituto de Parapsicologia, modeled on the Institute for Parapsychology created by J. B. Rhine in North Carolina. The institute also began a journal, Cuaderanos de Parapsicologia, modeled after the Journal of Parapsychology. The work of the institute has been largely devoted to attempts to replicate the work initiated at the Institute for Parapsychology. Address: Zabala 1930, 1712 Castelar, Prov. Buenos Aires, Argentina.
