Dr. Bruce Greyson is one of the first researchers to gather
empirical data on near-death experiences (NDEs) using accepted
scientific methods. He has documented clear patterns in the
long-term health of patients who have reported near-death
phenomena and has written widely on therapeutic strategies for
helping patients readjust to life after such occurrences, as
well as on paranormal features of NDEs and their after-effects
and the implications of near-death experiences for the question
of survival.
Greyson has been a member of the Parapsychological
Association for the past thirty years. Over that time, his
research has focused on near-death experiences. He has made more
than sixty scientific presentations at national and regional
conferences and received nine research grants for which he was
the principal investigator. He has published more than sixty
articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, more than twenty
invited book chapters, and one book, The Near-Death
Experience: Problems, Prospects, Perspectives, with
co-author C. P. Flynn. He has also been the editor of the
Journal of Near-Death Studies for the past twenty-two
years.
Greyson received his undergraduate degree from Cornell
University in 1968 and his medical degree from the State
University of New York, Upstate Medical School. After completing
a psychiatric residency at the University of Virginia Medical
School, he joined the faculty there in 1976 as an assistant
professor of Psychiatry, working closely with Dr. Ian Stevenson.
Dr. Greyson then served on the medical school faculties of the
University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut before
returning to the University of Virginia in 1995 as a professor
of psychiatric medicine and family medicine. He held the
Priscilla Bonner and Margerie Bonner-Lowry Professorship in the
Division of Personality Studies from 1998 to 2002 before being appointed Carlson Professor of Psychiatry in 2002.
