John E. Mack (1929–2004) was an American psychiatrist and professor at Harvard Medical School. He won the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for A Prince of Our Disorder, about T.E. Lawrence.
Abduction research
From 1990, Mack studied more than 200 people who said they had been abducted by aliens. In Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens (1994) he concluded that their experiences could not be explained by mental illness and that they deserved to be taken seriously, though he did not insist they were physical events. He later argued the experiences had spiritual and environmental meaning, in Passport to the Cosmos (1999). In 1994–95 Harvard reviewed his research but affirmed his academic freedom. He died in London in 2004 after being struck by a drunk driver.
