Debra Lynne Katz, MSW, is both a talented remote viewer and a psychic reader. She is author of You Are Psychic: The Art of Psychic Reading & Healing, Extraordinary Psychic: Proven Techniques to Master Your Natural Psychic Abilities, and Freeing the Genie Within: Manifesting Abundance, Creativity, and Success in Life. She is a parapsychology researcher, having twice received the annual Warcollier Prize from the International Remote Viewing Association for an outstanding research proposal. She is the director of the International School of Clairvoyance.

Here she discusses points of similarity and difference between remote viewing and psychic reading. She notes that these two styles of psychic practice have different histories, contexts, and different communities that only occasionally interact with each other. She describes her training in both approaches – pointing out that, in each case, individuals who did not originally think of themselves as being psychic can be trained to use their latent abilities. Psychic readers are generally asked to offer personal and spiritual advice, while remote viewers are often tasked to solve practical problems. Each approach uses extrasensory ability and has something to offer the other.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
