Edmund Parish

Herr Edmund Parish (1861–1916) was a German psychologist and hallucination researcher.

Parish is known for producing a dissociation model of hallucinations. Parish was skeptical of parapsychology. He disputed the claims of telepathy made by the members of the Society for Psychical Research. His book Hallucinations and Illusions: A Study of the Fallacies of Perception discusses the fallacies of memory and perception and explores waking hallucinations of healthy persons. It was republished in 2011 by the Cambridge Library Collection.
