This is a wonderful book. It is a model for others to follow because it is so carefully researched. Faculties in our universities need to make inquiries like this. Nancy du Tertre is breaking new ground as she confirms the importance of psychic intuition through interdisciplinary fields. She is on the edge of new thought as she helps us move ahead in the evolution of humankind.

If you have ever been interested in the realm of the psychic, then Psychic Intuition is a must-read. Using her skills as an attorney, du Tertre systematically examines and cross-examines the evidence, the skeptics, and the uses and abuses of psychic tools.
Eldon Taylor, PhD, FAPA, New York Times best-selling author of Choices and Illusions and Mind Programming
Nancy du Tertres book Psychic Intuition not only fills a void in the theoretical and experiential literature on person-to-person intuition and psychic understanding, but she opens a universe of intuitive sensing for all of us to explore. Treating skeptics and psychics as being equally misled by language and preconception, she asks us in the words of the founder of Gestalt Psychotherapy Fritz Perlsto lose our minds and come to our senses. In this case, to come to all 40 (or more) of our senses. I particularly enjoyed her step-by-step accounts of how subtle intuitive information comes to her and how it can be so easily dismissed when logic, pragmatism, or ordinary thinking prevail. Here she not only openly reveals her own doubts, embarrassments, and tendencies to reject this information but implicitly provides the reader with both instruction and encouragement to sequester their own hesitations and experiment with intuitive or psychic sensing for themselves. Ms. du Tertres book reads quick, accessible, richly detailed, and forceful.
Ron DeAngelo, PhD, psychologist and director of intuitive training at the Soma-Psyche Institute, New York City
Over the years I have probably read 20 or 30 books detailing the life and experiences of psychics. This book stands above all of them combined. A real page-turner, one cannot help but read it into the wee hours of the morning. Each gripping chapter lays one more piece of the puzzle bare, so that piece-by-piece, a picture emerges. The work avoids trying to explain the origins of psychic phenomena, and instead focuses on the origins of psychic ability. In my opinion, it does so admirably, in a rich and colorful voyage blending the physical and the metaphysical into a unified manifestation.

From the first meeting I had with Nancy to the reading of her incredible book Psychic Intuition, Ive had the great pleasure of hearing her thoughts and ideas, intuition and intelligence. Her book is an awakening for the uninitiated with insights that will give them countless ahas. For everyone immersed in the field there is still plenty to learn and understand. Nancy has a way of exploring and synthesizing that clarifies so beautifully that it needs to be gone over again and again. There is so much value and so much to be gained from her insights, intuition, and intelligence that everyone ever interested in the psychic world needs this book.
Nancy Orlen Weber, psychic detective and medical intuitive
If youre curious as to how the brain picks up what we call psychic, or intuitive information, this book is a must-read. Nancy explains many complex theories in a down to earth way, making the book extremely reader friendly.

I admire Nancys writing style and the openness of the debate it has engendered. On the other hand, I do fear getting embroiled in an angel on a pinhead type of argumentation. I find her intellectual prowess delightful, but the direction she is taking it, questionable.
