The origin and early history of the Psi Corps are revealed in a series of books written by Gregory Keyes. Following panic and persecution when telepathic abilities in certain individuals was confirmed, the Psi Corps was created as part of EarthForce by Earth Alliance to protect telepaths, but also to identify and control them.
The Psi Corps headquarters has hospitals, offices and a boarding school where young "teeps" and "teeks" can develop without the fear and persecution they would face among the normal, "mundane" population. This school is overseen by the monitors (usually called by their nickname, "grins"), which appear in Susan Ivanova's nightmare about the corps and her mother. (Family names are matriarchal: the mother's maiden-name is passed down to the children, which is why female telepaths such as Lyta Alexander and Talia Winters carry their surname down the generations.)
