even Evelyn Underhill

Hello all!
Are any of the readers of this list familiar with any books that
discuss
mysticism versus madness and examine mystical or psychic episodes from a
physiological framework as well as from a religious framework.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Deborah Harmes, Ph.D.
