The Psychic Immune System: A Hidden Epiphenomenon of the Body's Own Defenses [Hardcover]

The Psychic Immune System theorizes the existence of a hidden variable that acts via both unconscious and conscious processes to protect humans individually and collectively from mortal threats. Much like the physical immune system, the psychic immune system scans for danger, protects, heals, and ensures human safety and survival. Kroth argues that it isnt just luck that has enabled people to survive the multitude of epidemics, wars, and environmental disasters that could have resulted in extinction, but rather the work of a complex system that has enabled us to survive. Scrutinizing a variety of past and present threats, Kroth points to traces of a systematic force that has protected humans. Recommended for scholars of psychology, history, and political science.Jerry Kroth is associate professor emeritus in the graduate counseling psychology program at Santa Clara University.

In this masterful and original work, Kroth persuasively presents compelling scientific findings from depth psychology; neuroscience; cultural, archetypal, and collective psychology; quantum physics; history; and epigenetics to support a hopeful and life-giving message: there exists a psychic immune system that is alive and well which functions to ensure our survival and well-being.

The Psychic Immune System in its broad and rich analysis of many past and current events has challenged me. Kroth argues persuasively that we are not awash in a sea of chance and evil. David Frederick, PhD

Numerous scientific surveys have noted the imminent self-destruction of the human species resulting from the ravaging of the environment. The Psychic Immune System provides a glimmer of hope, making the audacious suggestion that there is a self-corrective aspect of the collective psyche that can be compared to the immune system. This psychic immune system has come to humanity's rescue in the past and may well do so again before time runs out. Krl£w
