Sociedad Espanola de Parapsychologia

The Sociedad Espanola de Parapsychologia (Spanish Parapsychological Society) was founded in 1973 and grew out of the fledgling interest in parapsychology that emerged in Spain in the 1960s. In 1971 Ramos Molina Perera became the first person to offer courses in parapsychology at a Spanish university, the Universidad Autónoma Madrid. Two years later Perera became one of the founders of the Sociedad Espanola de Parapsicologia.

The society was an open membership group with members from many segments of Spanish society, including psychologists, newspaper reporters, and scholars of various backgrounds. Its program had both research and educational components, and it published a journal, Psi Communicación. Last known address: Belen 151 Derecha, 28004, Madrid, Spain.
