Gary Schwartz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., is a professor of Psychology teaching courses in psychology in the departments of Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Surgery at the University of Arizona. He is also the Director of The VERITAS Research Program of the Human Energy Systems Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. Dr. Schwartz is the co-author of The Living Energy Universe, and is the author of The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death and The Truth About Medium and has published several hundred scientific papers and edited eleven academic books.
Dr. Schwartz's major research focus has been in the field of parapsychology. The stated goal of The VERITAS Research Program is "using individuals called mediums to communicate with the deceased" and using scientific methodology and protocols to measure the results. Subject mediums have included John Edward and Allison DuBois.
Dr. Schwartz's research has garnered him much criticism from skeptics such as James Randi, Robert Todd Carroll, Paul Kurtz and Ray Hyman. Ms. DuBois has also had a falling out with Dr. Schwartz over his book The Truth About Medium.[1]
