He is the first practitioner to be awarded a PhD on the topic of Spirit Release Therapy in the UK. Terence is a member of The Society for Psychical Research and The Scientific and Medical Network, and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.

 I wrote a dissertation on the Clinical and
Mystical Perspectives of Dissociation that remains unpublished, but is held in Kent University’s archives. In my dissertation, I noted that according to modern psychiatric theory all saints, mystics and prophets are mad and are given diagnoses accordingly. (That includes Spiritualist mediums by the way). This introduced me to the philosophy of William
James and to the theories of Frederic Myers who both disagreed with this view. I realised that I was definitely on the right track towards an academic and scientific explanation for those cases that had so confounded
me earlier. The first edition of this book was initially written as a thesis on the work of Myers.
