Synopsis

A Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, John E. Mack, the author of A Prince of Our Disorder, presents accounts of alien abduction taken from the more than 60 cases he has investigated, and examines the implications for our identity as a species. These mesmerizing and thought-provoking stories of alien encounters from a Harvard professor take you through actual case studies of people from all walks of life and ages who have had challenging, sometimes disturbing, and in every case, life-changing experiences of alien abduction. Mack's Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens is a fascinating investigation of real-world alien encounters, and explores how extraterrestrial encounters affected the way people regarded the world—including heightening their sense of spirituality and their environmental concern. John E. Mack was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and focused his career on the connections between different cultures and individuals. His book is masterfully narrated by Audible listener favorite, Brian Arens. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©1994, 2014 Daniel Mack (P)2023 Echo Point Books & Media, LLC

In all honesty, if I could it would be a 2.5, the .5 coming from the last chapter in which Dr. Mack recovers by adding some sanity to the book. I expected this book to be more critical than what it was, especiall......more

This is an excellent work that will convince everyone of the existence of extra-terrestrials, wherever they come from. We are given detailed accounts by specific persons who have been visited by these beings. It turned out that most of them perhaps all had been visited by them from an extremely early......more

Goodreads review by Erik on March 13, 2015

Frankly, I find psychological case studies boring in general. The few exceptions have been book-length studies by exceptionally good writers. Mack is all right as a writer, but not exceptional, not here. The theme of these case studies carried me through the exercise, however. The facts that a tenure......more

Goodreads review by Jackee on January 23, 2011

I read this book as a child, because I used to be obsessed with Aliens. I didn't believe they existed, but I loved reading about them in a fictional sense. This book scared me so much (in an omg they may exist sense) that I never finished it.......more
