			Dr. '''Diane Hennacy Powell''' is a Johns Hopkins–trained neuropsychiatrist, neuroscientist and integrative healer. A former Harvard Medical School faculty member, she researches telepathy in autistic savants, explores theories of consciousness and authored The ESP Enigma, bringing rigorous, evidence-based inquiry to phenomena often dismissed as “paranormal.” Her research opens a scientific door into clairvoyance and telepathy as real, if poorly understood, aspects of human intelligence and connectivity.

	Biophysics and neuroscience captivated her attention as an undergraduate at Ohio State University. While taking classes, she worked in neurochemistry, biophysics and neurophysiology laboratories and published an academic article in neurochemistry. Her experiences in the lab helped her realize she wanted to understand human consciousness, which meant going into medicine rather than graduate school.

	In 1990, Dr. Powell was invited to join a weekly discussion about gender differences led by '''Maureen O’Hara''', a Professor of Women’s Studies at San Diego State University. There was a wealth of research on psychological differences between men and women coming from respected sources, such as the Stone Center at Wellesley College. Using her neuroscience background, Dr. Powell found correlations between these and neuro-anatomical and genetic differences in the brains of men and women. This information had never been mentioned in the popular press because it was considered politically incorrect during the 70’s and 80’s. After Dr. Powell constructed theories about the relative contributions of biological and cultural influences on gender, she taught an upper division course at UCSD based on this research and her theories. In 1996 she became one of the original members of a think tank, the La Jolla Group for Understanding the Origin of Humans, which included such world-renown scientists as '''Floyd Bloom''', '''V.S. Ramachandran''', '''George Palade''', '''Fred Gage''' and '''Francis Crick'''.

	===Clinical Practice===		===Clinical Practice===
	Dr. Powell’s clinical practice has been diverse and international in scope. She has been the Assistant Clinical Director of the Consultation-Liaison Service at Harvard’s Cambridge Hospital and the Chief Psychiatrist of the Emergency Room at Brockton Multi-Service Center. She provided training and psychotherapy to Soviet psychologists in Moscow in 1990. In the early 1990’s she co-created and served as Clinical Director of the McCandliss Center for Women in Chula Vista, California. It was a treatment center for survivors of sexual assault, mothers with post-partum depression, and women with eating disorders. In 2001, she started the psychiatric program for Survivors of Torture, International in San Diego, California. It still provides treatment to refugees and asylum seekers from countries where genocide, torture, and terrorism have resulted in severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
