Dr JOHN E MACK: Author's bio

School and founder of the Center for Psychology & Social Change,

global transformation.

John E. Mack, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
and founder of the Center for Psychology & Social Change, explores how
extraordinary experiences can affect personal, societal and global
transformation. He is the author of many books detailing how one's
perceptions shape relationships with one another and with the world,
including the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of T.E. Lawrence, A
Prince of Our Disorder, and Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation
and Alien Encounters.

About the Author (Bio)
John E. Mack, M.D., is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor of
psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School. He is the founder of the
Department of Psychiatry at the Cambridge Hospital.
Dr. Mack earned his medical degree at the Harvard Medical School (Cum
Laude) after undergraduate study at Oberlin (Phi Beta Kappa). He is a
graduate of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and is Board
certified in child and adult psychoanalysis with over 40 years of
clinical psychiatric education and experience. He continues to teach
trainees in psychiatry.

Dr. Mack has devoted his career to exploring the question of how our
perceptions shape our relationship with each other and with the world.
He addressed this issue of "worldview" on the individual level in his
early clinical explorations of dreams, nightmares and teen suicide, and
in his biographical study of the life of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of
Arabia) for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in biography in 1977.

He has sought out the psychological roots of collective experiences such
as the Cold War, the global ecological crisis, ethnonationalism and
regional conflict. Dr. Mack testified before Congress in 1983 on the
psychological impact of the nuclear arms race on children, and was
arrested at the U.S. government's nuclear weapons test site in Nevada.

The Center for Psychology & Social Change was founded by Dr. Mack in
1983. The Center's projects apply psychology to the process of healing
and reshaping relationships in the social, ecological, political and
spiritual realms. The Center's work is designed to promote shifts in
consciousness and behavior that invite sustainable, equitable, and
peaceful ways of living.

In 1992, Dr. Mack co-chaired the Abduction Study Conference held at MIT,
a landmark scientific assembly on alien encounters. In 1993, Dr. Mack
founded the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER) to
formalize his explorations in this area. Dr. Mack and his colleagues at
PEER worked with over 200 individuals from six continents who have
experienced encounters with unknown intelligences. Dr. Mack's research
into this controversial subject focused on the consideration of the
merits of an expanded notion of reality, one which allows for
experiences that may not fit the Western materialist paradigm, yet
deeply affect people's lives.

Through collaborations and meetings with clinicians, "experiencers",
psychologists, epidemiologists, historians, physicians, philosophers,
anthropologists, physicists, theologians, and political scientists, Dr.
Mack has encouraged members of different disciplines to bring their
talents to this exploration.

Dr. Mack is the author or co-author of eleven books, including A Prince
of Our Disorder, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of T.E. Lawrence
(Lawrence of Arabia), Abduction, and Nightmares and Human Conflict. The
culmination of his research into experiencers, Passport to the Cosmos:
Human Transformation and Alien Encounters was publisned in November
1999. He has written more than one hundred and fifty scholarly articles.
