Books by Robin Wooffitt

Presents the study of the verbal interaction between the various kinds of psychic practitioners and their clients. Using conversation analysis, this book examines the structure of the interaction, focusing on the ways in which psychic practitioners establish the genuineness of their claimed paranormal powers.

Shows how the methods and findings of conversation and discourse analysis may inform the development of empirical research questions. It will therefore be an invaluable resource for social science students on courses which require them to undertake practical or empirical exercises.
