Abduction, Alienation and Reason – John E. Mack, M.D.
Synopsis – The late John E Mack was a highly respected Professor of
Psychiatry at Harvard University and a Pulitzer Prize winner for his
work on TE Lawrence. In 1983 he founded the Center for Psychology and
Social Change (now the John Mack Institute) and was at the forefront of
original research at Harvard University\’s Cambridge Hospital. In the
early 1990s, he turned the academic community worldwide upside down
because he wanted to publish his research in which he said that people
who claimed they had been abducted by space aliens may not all be crazy
after all. Abduction, Alienation And Reason is the story of one man\’s
battle with his academic colleagues to keep an open mind and his
struggle to understand those who claim to have been abducted. His plea
was as much for them as for the future of psychiatry.
