<p>The current volume of <i>Advances in Parapsychological Research</li> is the 10th in this long-running series, the first going back to 1977. From the beginning, we have endeavored to bring our readers perspectives that reflect the development of this controversial but challenging field of study. We view parapsychology, the scientific approach to the exploration and understanding of so-called "psi phenomena;" as transdisciplinary in nature. The field was originally viewed as a function of psychology, the "para" signifying something "alongside" of psychology, not in opposition to it. Over the decades, contributions have been made by physicists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, and workers in many other disciplines. So rather than viewing parapsychology as interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary, it is probably more accurate to use the transdisciplinary term to reflect the holistic outlook required to do justice to the field.</p>
