Close Extraterrestrial Encounters

Book excerpt: A clinical psychologist analyzes the extraterrestrial abduction phenomenon, finding that the experience can be far more positive than many professionals realize. Dr. Boylan traces much of the trauma that other researchers have associated with extraterrestrial contact to earlier, and altogether earthly, experiences in the individual's life. After dealing with previous traumatic reactions, he defines a new treatable disorder, Close Extraterrestrial Encounter Syndrome, and identifies the 20 signs that justify the diagnosis. Nine fascinating case histories illustrate abstract theory with solid clinical evidence.
