History

Academy of Psychic Arts and Sciences was begun in 1970 by a group of seekers intent on fostering greater understanding and wider practice of metaphysics in the United States. Led by our founder, Timothy Dexter Latus, Academy was established to bring a new level of professionalism to the study, understanding and practice of the psychic arts and sciences.

Having had operations in Albuquerque, Houston, New York City, Palo Alto and Saint Louis over the decades, Academy has operated from and been based in Dallas since 1979, which now serves as its world headquarters.

Throughout its over thirty year existence, Academy has served many thousands of individuals from all walks of life and has gained an international reputation for promulgating and upholding the highest standard of ethics and practices in the profession.

Academy proudly marked the 21st Century by launching its DPMP™ designation (for Dedicated Professional Metaphysical Practitioner™), a hallmark honor reserved for the finest metaphysical practitioners in the world. This program is a major step in Academy's goal of promoting high standards in metaphysical practice and providing the public with a reliable gauge of professional excellence earned by a select few. Every DPMP™ has strongly demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the profession and has pledged to strictly uphold Academy's Code of Ethics.
