Résumé
David W. Orme-Johnson (born January 17, 1941) is a former professor of psychology at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. He is the author of over 100 papers investigating the effects of the Transcendental Meditation technique.
David Orme-Johnson was born in El Paso, Texas. He received a B.A. from Columbia University in Psychology in 1963, and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology (with a second speciality in Quantitative Methods) in 1969 from the University of Maryland.
From 1969 to 1971, Orme-Johnson served as a lecturer at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). While at UTEP, he conducted the first research on the effects of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on autonomic stability and autonomic recovery from stressors. The paper, published in Psychosomatic Medicine, the journal of the American Psychosomatic Society, reported fewer spontaneous galvanic skin responses (GSR) in meditators, and more rapid habituation of the GSR to loud tones.
Orme-Johnson was director of research and evaluation for the U.S. Army drug rehabilitation program at Fort Bliss from 1971 to 1972.
In 1973, Orme-Johnson joined Maharishi International University (MIU), formerly Maharishi University of Management (MUM), in Fairfield, Iowa. Orme-Johnson served as the Chairman of the Psychology Department and Dean of Research until 1996. As Chairman of the Psychology Department, he “led the MIU Psychology Department in the theoretical development of Maharishi Vedic Psychology”. In addition, he was director of the university's psychology doctoral program and co-director of its neuroscience doctoral program, as well as director of its Institute for World Peace. He also served as director of research at the Institute of Science, Technology, and Public Policy.
According to Orme-Johnson, he was Vice Chancellor of Maharishi European Research University, Seelisberg, Switzerland, from 1975 to 1977 and Acting President of Maharishi University of Management from 1976 to 1977.
