James L. Oschman Ph.D.
Workshop: The Evidence Base For Energy Medicine

Jim Oschman is the author of a ground-breaking series of articles on "healing energy" published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies. These articles have now been developed in to a book, Energy Medicine: the scientific basis, published in the Spring of 2000 by Harcourt Brace/Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh.

Jim is one of the few academic scientists who had explored the basis for complementary and alternative medicines. He has published 26 full-length scientific articles in academic scientific journals and 40 full articles in alternative and complementary therapy journals. In his work, he refers to the same science that provides the foundation for modern clinical medicine.

Jim lectures widely on the energetic phenomenon taking place in the therapeutic situation. He has developed useful insights that can help all therapists better understand and advise their work and explain it to others.

Jim has both academic credentials and the background in alternative therapies to carry out his explorations. He has degrees in Biophysics and Biology from The University of Pittsburgh and has worked in major research labs around the world including Cambridge University, England, Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, The University of Copenhagen, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he was on the faculty and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, where he was a staff scientist.

Recently Jim became a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the National Foundation for Alternative Medicine in Washington, DC.

Bob Charman FCSP, DipTP, MCSP, Hon Life President of ACPEM
Workshop: 'Evidence for Entangled Minds: Implications for patient/therapist interaction

Physiotherapy lecturer (rtd), University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff. Founder/Chair and Honorary Life President, Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Energy Medicine, Chairman, Confederation of Healing Organisations (CHO) and member - Doctor-Healer Network, Scientific & Medical Network, and Society for Psychical Research.

He has published articles on bioelectricity and contributed textbook chapters on pain theory, electrical properties of cells, and the neurological basis of skill learning. He edited Complementary Therapies for Physical Therapists (2000), contributing a chapter on the research evidence for healing by intention.

Although not a healer Bob has a keen interest in the subject which he sets within the wider context of related research in parapsychology demonstrating mind to mind interaction (telepathy) and precognition. He has published recent review articles on the extensive EEG and fMRI evidence for direct mind to mind communication, including healer to healee interaction.

Hilary Watt
Workshop: The Value Of Research into Healing

Hilary Watt is a Lecturer in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She has published widely in medical journals, in collaboration with medics and other scientists. Many of these publications seek risk factors for, and treatment of different diseases. Medical areas she has researched include heart disease, stroke, neurology and psychiatry. She applies her statistical and analytical abilities, with aim of finding evidence that is as objective as possible. In her spare time, she has received healing and attended many spiritual workshops. She has also trained as a healer, and as a massage practitioner. She has learnt to honour intuitive ways of knowing. She is currently involved in a research project into healing with Prof Nicky Robinson from Thames Valley University. She is interested in what can be gleaned from both traditional research and from more intuitive ways of knowing. She is a member of the Doctor Healer Network.
