Information trouvée : Décès 2004 : John E Mack, who has died aged 74, was a professor of psychiatry at Harvard
and won a Pulitzer prize for a biography of Lawrence of Arabia; he created more controversy,
however, with his investigations of accounts of alien abduction. John Edward Mack
was born in New York City on October 4 1929. He served in the US Air Force from 1959
to 1961. In 1964, he joined the Harvard Medical School faculty, becoming professor
of psychiatry in 1972. He was founding chairman of the department of psychiatry at
the Cambridge Hospital. In 1983, he founded the Centre for Psychology and Social Change,
to research "the full breadth of human experience, including spiritual experience
not generally accepted by more conservative branches of psychiatry". It was renamed
the John E Mack Institute this year. His most recent article, two weeks ago, compared
the leadership ualities of T E Lawrence and George W Bush; not to the latter's advantage.
That weekend, he enjoyed canvassing in the rain for John Kerry.He published almost
a dozen books, including Nightmares and Human Conflict, which became a standard text,
and edited Borderline States in Psychiatry.
