John Mack

John Edward Mack (1929–2004) was an American psychiatrist, writer, and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, where he headed the department of psychiatry. He is best known for winning the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for his psychobiography of T.E. Lawrence, A Prince of Our Disorder, and for his controversial research in the 1990s on people who reported alien abduction experiences, which prompted a Harvard review of his academic work. He died in London on September 27, 2004, after being struck by a vehicle.
