Neurotheology – With God In Mind

Addressing the general meeting for the “Society of Neuroscience” in 1997, Dr. Ramachandran made comment that “there is a neural basis for religious experience.” Ramachandran’s radical statement catapulted neurotheology well into the public eye. The aim of neurotheology is to question and “explore theology from a neurological perspective...helping us to understand the human urge for religion and religious myth” (Newberg, D’Aquili & Rause 2001, p177). Neurotheologians address this through varying scientific methods. Ultimately, can such a movement disprove the existence of God? Read Complete Article

Welcome to Clinically Psyched

In addition to our Neuroscience News website, our team decided that there was a need to create a non profit website to promote breaking news in clinical psychology, biological psychology and psychopharmacology. We feel there is a lack of websites dedicated to breaking news within these fields, so decided to create this resource to keep psychology professionals and clinical psychology students abreast of current discoveries in clinical psychology.

The Clinically Psyched team scour the news daily for relevant news which we believe is vital within clinical psychology. We only choose headlines related to clinical psychology and post the relevant links. Occasionally, the original link may not be available without registration, so we link the clinical psychology news article to a secondary source.

We actively encourage our clinical psychology news readers to submit clinical psychology articles, clinical psychology related breaking news, clinical psychology abstracts, psychology links and suggestions to help develop our website. As such, we frequently update Clinically Psyched, so be sure to check back with us often.

Clinically Psyched is especially interested in clinical psychology student submission and we intend to develop an area where psychology students can post papers they believe may be suitable for our readers. We do ask for all paper submissions to be accompanied by a reference page formatted in the standard BPS/APA style. If any articles are used in papers by our users, we strongly insist that both Clinically Psyched and the original author/source are referenced.

It is our hope that clinical psychology professionals, university psychology departments, clinical psychology students and anyone interested in the field of clinical psychology will find this a useful resource and assist in the development of this website.

Be sure to read our user articles, clinical psychology articles, neurotheology articles and more.

We are in the process of posting all of our old articles into the new Clinically Psyched web design. This will allow users to search through old content and find articles posted by us up to 3 years ago.

Visit Clinically Psyched for breaking news in clinical psychology, abnormal psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neurotheology and other psychology news.
