Similarly, [Prof. Hans Driesch] includes under "parapsychology" such phenomena as telepathy and clairvoyance, which he regards as mere extensions from ordinary mental phenomena, rather than as fundamentally different processes. He believes that the same orderly process by which unclassified and diverse processes have been systematized,—alchemy becoming chemistry, astrology becoming astronomy,—is at work now,—to make, in place of the mysterious tradition of Occultism, a science which will really be an extension from scientific psychology and biology.

同样地，[汉斯·德里希教授]将诸如心灵感应和透视等现象归入“超心理学”范畴，他认为这些现象只是普通心理现象的延伸，而不是根本不同的过程。他相信，同样的有序过程——将未分类和多样化的过程系统化——正在起作用，以取代神秘主义传统，创造一门真正的科学，这门科学将是科学心理学和生物学的延伸。[“美国心理研究协会杂志”，1923年4月]
