Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a New Age practice rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on past life regression, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the practice's credited origin with Pennsylvania hypnotherapist A. R. Martin's 1942 publication and the 1952 Bridey Murphy case, and for a 2006 survey finding a majority of doctoral level mental health professionals rated "past lives" therapy as certainly discredited, a professional consensus fact distinct from the atlas's existing citation on the specific hypnotic mechanism by which false memories form.
