The Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER) was established in 1993 by Harvard professor of psychiatry John E. Mack, M.D., to formalize his work with people reporting experiences of alien abduction. PEER's work is motivated by the understanding that expansions of human knowledge come with the exploration of unexplained phenomena. Recognizing the social barriers to the study of anomalies, the program seeks to foster conditions for candid inquiry through careful observation, open dialogue, and development of a network of compassionate support for experiencers.

Experiencers' Guide to Therapy
People who feel they may have had an extraordinary experience, "experiencers," may benefit from the support of a therapist. This 8-page guide created by PEER explains the ways in which therapy may be helpful, describes the major therapeutic professions, and provides suggestions for how to choose a therapist.
PEER established the Therapist Consultation and Referral Network. Directed by Roberta Colasanti, LICSW, the network provides professional connections for licensed clinicians and alternative therapists who are willing to keep an open mind when listening to accounts of unusual experiences. The network also serves as a resource for people who call or write to PEER needing to talk with someone about possible abduction experiences, making available to them the names of therapists in their local areas. PEER refers directly only to licensed clinicians, but encourages networking among therapists of all professions. Some 170 licensed clinicians are now participating in the network.
