  • John Gordon Clark (1926 – 1999) was a Harvard psychiatrist and authority in research on the alleged damaging effects of cults. He was the target of harassment from Scientologists after he testified against them to the Vermont congress in 1976. His similarly harassed colleague Louis Jolyon West remarked: "I was lucky that I was a full-time professor in a big university like UCLA. Others, like Harvard's Jack Clark. who was primarily in private practice, nearly had their lives ruined by the Scientologists. " In 1985, John G. Clark received the Leo J. Ryan Award, named for the California congressman murdered in Jonestown. The Psychiatric Times, when naming him 1991 psychiatrist of the year, described him as "a quiet, courageous man of conviction, who was fighting an all-too-lonely and unappreciated battle against well-financed, ruthless organizations."
