	Ian Stevenson - Reincarnation research
		Ian Stevenson is the former head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and now is Director of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia.
		Stevenson's research into birthmarks and congenital defects has such particular importance for the demonstration of reincarnation, since it furnishes objective and graphic proof of reincarnation, superior to the - often fragmentary - memories and reports of the children and adults questioned, which even if verified afterwards cannot be assigned the same value in scientific terms.
		Stevenson has now succeeded in giving us an explanation of why a person is born with these deformities and why they appear precisely in that part of their body and not in another.

	Empirical evidence for reincarnation? examining Stevenson's 'most impressive' case. (author Ian Stevenson) - ...
		Ian Stevenson's conduct of the Imad Elawar investigation, considered among the strongest of his cases, fails on six fundamental grounds.
		Stevenson refers to his discovery (in Khriby) that the Mahmoud Bouhamzy who had lived in Khriby was not killed as a result of an accident with a truck as a complication for interpretation of the data and as "baffling".
		However, Stevenson does not clarify for us--nor, apparently, did he attempt to clarify for himself--whether or not the identification of the town of the previous life as Khriby by Imad followed the "recognition" of the lost friend in the street or preceded it.

	Ian Stevenson
		Ian Stevenson was a psychiatrist who gave up conventional medicine to collect past-life experience stories (PLEs) that he thought provided evidence for reincarnation.
		Stevenson is best known for his studies of children who claim to remember past lives, but he retained a lifelong interest in psychosomatic issues and believed his reincarnation data could prove useful in medicine.
		Stevenson would conduct dozens of interviews and spend hours searching through hospital and court records, trying to establish that there was no fraud involved, that the story wasn't contaminated, that there weren't errors in translation, that the events weren't just coincidental, that the child couldn't have gotten the information in any normal way.

	Ian Stevenson - The Red Pill
		Dr Ian Stevenson (1918 - 2007) was Director of the Division of Personality Studies at the University of Virginia, and is noted as the scientist to have provided the most evidence for the theory of reincarnation.
		However, Stevenson’s distaste of reductionism in scientific and medical circles was followed now by his annoyance at the importance given to Freud’s theories in psychiatry, at the expense of practically every other idea.
		Stevenson’s dedication to his work has continued through the decades, despite complaints from his University alumni concerning the nature of his research, and even pleas from his wife to not ruin a promising career.

		Carlson funded Stevenson's first field trip, in 1961, to India and Sri Lanka, where he was able to locate and study some 25 such cases, adding fuel to his theory that reincarnation might offer "a third possibility" in the development of character, along with hereditary and environmental influences.
		Stevenson regarded the prospect of his own passing with equanimity, maintaining that he was "apprehensive" but not scared of death.
		Ian Stevenson was married twice, to Octavia, who died in 1983, and to Margaret, who survives him.

	SkepticReport * Book Review: Ian Stevenson: "Children Who Remember Previous Lives, A Question of Reincarnation"
		Ian Stevenson has spent 40 years studying the evidence for reincarnation, mainly through investigating the claims of children who appear to remember aspects of their previous lives.
		Stevenson wrote this book, detailing 14 cases, with the aim of presenting an account of his research, and so it seems reasonable to assume that the evidence presented is at least representative of the whole.
		In the first, Stevenson does not get involved until the kid is 13 and in the second the kid is 14 (11 and years after the first "remembering" in the first case, unknown in the second but probably seven or eight years after).

	Skeptical Investigations - Stevenson Page
		Stevenson has always been careful to say his work is only "suggestive of reincarnation" but he clearly leans that way.
		Stevenson has collected over 2,600 reported cases of past-life memories of which 65 detailed reports have been published.
		Writing as a specialist in psychiatry and as a world-renowned scientific investigator of reported paranormal events, Stevenson asks us to suspend our Western tendencies to disbelieve in "reincarnation" and consider the reality of the burgeoning record of cases now available.

	Ian Stevenson; Sought To Document Memories Of Past Lives in Children - washingtonpost.com
		Ian Stevenson, 88, who spent nearly half a century traveling the world to meticulously investigate hundreds of cases of small children who appeared to recall previous lives, died of pneumonia Feb. 8 at the Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge retirement community in Charlottesville.
		In interviewing witnesses and reviewing documents, Dr. Stevenson searched for alternate ways to account for the testimony: that the child came upon the information in some normal way, that the witnesses were engaged in fraud or self-delusion, that the correlations were the result of coincidence or misunderstanding.
		But from his mother, a devotee of theosophy, which Dr. Stevenson described as a "kind of potted Buddhism for Westerners," he had inherited a keen interest in the paranormal, which became a calling after a trip to India in 1961 convinced him that the child cases were both ubiquitous and impressive.

	Honouring Dr Ian Stevenson: SurvivalAfterDeath.org
		It comes with a sad note that Dr. Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist with the University of Virginia 's Division of Perceptual Studies (formerly the Division of Personality Studies) who was certainly the most persistent and prolific researcher of spontaneous cases suggestive of reincarnation, passed away on February 8, 2007, at the age of 88.
		Since the 1960s, Dr. Stevenson and his colleagues at the University of Virginia have amassed a collection of around 2,500 cases that are suggestive of reincarnation.
		Stevenson (1974) was one of the first to locate cases like these, and others have been independently found by Mills, Haraldsson, and Keil (1994), and more recently by Keil and Tucker (2005).

		Stevenson's methodology is not that of the doctor or the physicist but that of the detective.
		Stevenson suggests that this lack of a bark is because of negligent reporting; if parents are from cultures that don't believe in reincarnation, then they'd be much less receptive, even hostile, to their child's claims about being reincarnated.

	Reincarnation and Past Lives - Ian Stevenson, the founder of a New Age
		Stevenson was never satisfied with superficial information, so wherever possible he personally examined every case in situ, since none of his colleagues were more reliable and scientifically conscientious than he himself.
		Stevenson's work as professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, was the start of a modern approach to research into reincarnation.
		Stevenson brought about the next major step in the discovery of fundamental truths concerning our extended, larger existence, which we now know to consist of a chain of repeated lifetimes.

	Scientific Proof of Reincarnation: Dr. Ian Stevenson
		The story of Swarnlata is characteristic of Stevenson's cases: the young girl's memories began when she was 3, she gave enough information to enable Stevenson to locate the family of the deceased person she remembered (the case was "solved"), and she gave more than 50 specific facts that were verified.
		Stevenson visited her in later years and corresponded with her for ten years after this case was investigated.
		What is not typical, however, is the persistence of clear memories into her adulthood, the lack of a traumatic death, and the support and cooperation between the families (in most cases one or both of the families are reluctant to encourage the child or to bring the case to the outside world).

		Operating under the belief that language is a skill that has to be learned by practice, and not something that may be acquired through ESP, Stevenson argued that cases of responsive xenoglossy could be useful pointers to discarnate agency (Stevenson, 1974, 1984).
		Two of his early single case reports, published in the 1960s were about apparitions, a topic he returned to during the 1990s (Stevenson, 1964, 1965, 1995).

	Blog #17: Ian Stevenson's Contributions to Parapsychology
		Stevenson was Professor and Chairman at the University of Virginia’s (UVA) Department of Psychiatry between 1957 and 1967.
		Stevenson’s initial work focused on a variety of psychological and psychiatric topics (click here for some examples.) However, a dissatisfaction with the current models of human personality led him to explore the psychical research literature.
		To me, Ian’s contributions were and remain today an example of the difference one person can have in the development of parapsychology.

		Ian Stevensons book is a superb scientific exploration into the generally more esoteric realm of reincarnation.
		One cannot accuse Stevenson of not following a scientific approach (instrumental injunction, direct apprehension, communal confirmation), his book brims with extremly detailed reports from children whose memories have been carefully collected and matched with the data of their former identity, profession, residence, and the way they died.
		Except that Dr. Stevenson's cases seem to lose their memories of the events in their previous lives at about age 7 or 8 and Rabbi Gershom's cases seem to be forever haunted by their experiences.
