Bruce Greyson

Charles Bruce Greyson is a parapsychologist and pseudoscience promoter.

Greyson is an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and the Director of the Division of Perceptual studies at the University of Virginia. He is the co-author of the book Irreducible Mind (2007) and co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences (2009).

Irreducible Mind proposes that the brain does not create the mind but the mind works independently from the brain, reviving an 18th century form of dualism. Dualism was developed by the fraudulent psychical researcher F. W. H. Myers and William James. Greyson argues for dualism but scientific studies have contradicted this view.

Greyson is active in the International Association of Near-Death Studies which continues the work of Raymond Moody, who believed that near-death experiences are a evidence of an afterlife.

Greyson is also associated with the Esalen Institute where he lectured from 1998-2010.

Irreducible Mind
Greyson is the co-author of the book Irreducible Mind (2007) with Alan Gauld and other parapsychologists. The book pretends to be a psychology book, but it is actually a pseudoscience book filled with anecdotes, which promotes paranormal claims. The book was criticized in the The American Journal of Psychology for presenting bold claims without empirical evidence.
