Synopsis
Every Monday night millions of Americans tune into "Medium", NBC's new hit drama featuring Allison DuBois, an ordinary woman who helps police solve baffling crimes through her ability to communicate with the dead. What most don't know is that this fictional character is based on a true-life medium named Allison DuBois, who is a consultant to the show. For the past four years, DuBois, has been the subject of rigorous scientific experiments conducted at the University of Arizona by Harvard-trained psychologist Gary Schwartz. "The Truth About Medium" chronicles many of those experiments as well as the real-life cases Allison has worked on and reveals hard laboratory evidence that psychic ability and mediumship are real.

Customer Reviews

Magazine Content Stretched to fill a Book
Some interesting details of Schwarz's experiments with a number of mediums, notably Alison Dubois, the inspiration for the TV series, Medium.

As with many books originating in the US, the style is a little too simplistic, with rather too much generalisation and not much meat.

Pretty forgettable.

Taking the mystery out of the medium testing
This book is very easy to read, but that should not be held against it. The author is a scientist who has carried out as scientific as possible a tests on a number of mediums, including Alison Dubois (who inspired the show, Medium). He sets out the experiments and how he recorded them and prevented "cheating" by the medium. His findings are quite astonishing and show that there is a lot more to know than we currently accept in mainstream science.
He has not tried to be sensational in his account and it is certainly a book any sceptic should read.
