The point is, Haydi, that in this 1932 work of Luria's (prior to his 
work with brain damaged war veterans) all his experiments were based on 
observation of behaviour, and the subject's psychological system was 
reconstructed in theory on the basis of observations of these 
"disruptions" of their behaviour, whch did not include striking them on 
the head with rocks, but just the normal "talk" favoured by psychologists.

BTW, "paramedicals" is a word which describes physiotherapists, nurses, 
dieticians, speech therapists, and so on, who are not regarded as "real 
doctors". Different from "paranormal."
