Nandor Fodor (May 13, 1895 in Beregszász, Hungary – May 17, 1964 in New York City, New York) was a British and American parapsychologist, psychoanalyst, author and journalist of Hungarian origin.〔Drury, Nevill. (2002). ''The Dictionary of the Esoteric: Over 3000 Entries on the Mystical and Occult Traditions''. Watkins Publishing. p. 108. ISBN 978-1842930410〕 ==Biography== Fodor was born in Beregszász, Hungary. He received a doctorate in law from the Royal Hungarian University of Science in Budapest. He moved to New York to work as a journalist and to Britain in 1929 where he worked for a newspaper company.〔Buckland, Raymond. (2005). ''The Spirit Book: The Encyclopedia of Clairvoyance, Channeling, and Spirit Communication''. Visible Ink Press. p. 144. ISBN 978-1578592135〕 Fodor was one of the leading authorities on poltergeists, haunting and paranormal phenomena usually associated with mediumship. Fodor, who was at one time Sigmund Freud's associate, wrote on subjects like prenatal development and dream interpretation, but is credited mostly for his magnum opus, ''Encyclopedia of Psychic Science'', first published in 1934.〔 Fodor was the London correspondent for the American Society for Psychical Research (1935-1939).〔 He worked as an editor for the ''Psychoanalytic Review'' and was a member of the New York Academy of Sciences.〔 Fodor in the 1930s embraced paranormal phenomena but by the 1940s took a break from his previous work and advocated a psychoanalytic approach to psychic phenomena.〔Hazelgrove, Jenny.
