Beyond Death's Door | 
pickAn odd book, published in 1978. The first study of Near-Death Experiences to show that not all such experiences are positive and that persons visibly distressed immediately after ‘hellish‘ experiences recall them as pleasant later on. They‘re replacing bad memories with good, according to Rawlings, as a way of dealing with extreme trauma. A brave book and a novel thesis, for which he was vilified by several other researchers in later years.
