Dr. Schwartz, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Surgery at the University of Arizona, is the Director of the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health (LACH). He holds a doctorate from Harvard University and previously served at Yale University as a professor, director of the Yale Psychophysiology Center, and co-director of the Yale Behavioral Medicine Clinic. With over 400 scientific papers, 11 edited academic books, and several popular books—including The Afterlife Experiments, The Truth About Medium, The G.O.D. Experiments, and The Energy Healing Experiments—Dr. Schwartz is a prominent voice in advancing post-materialist psychology and science.
His research centers on exploring consciousness, spiritual psychology, and health through innovative, evidence-based approaches. A major focus is investigating the survival of consciousness after physical death, collaborating with research mediums and utilizing cutting-edge optical sciences technology to measure potential spiritual energy. Dr. Schwartz also develops self-science tools for tracking synchronistic events in daily life, aiming to foster spiritual wellness and broaden understanding of a greater spiritual reality. His work bridges energy psychology and spiritual psychology to support both personal and global health, with a commitment to evolving scientific paradigms and enhancing well-being.
