Claude-Generated Themes:   Psychic Research Quarterly (1920–21) was a scholarly psychical-research journal that investigated mediumship, trance, and the survival question in the register of the Society for Psychical Research. Although its most frequent vocabulary is spiritualist — medium, séance, mediumship, spirit-photograph — these are the phenomena under examination rather than articles of faith, treated through analyses of dissociation, the subconscious, and hypnotic suggestion (with Bernheim and Braid cited). Physical-mediumship and spirit-photography cases recur as evidential problems, and the reality of post-mortem survival is argued as a research question. It is properly classed as parapsychology that studies spiritualism from the outside.
