Martin T. Orne

Citation

"For his efforts to integrate psychological theory and methods with the pragmatic concerns of psychotherapy, medicine, and law. Through his research he has helped practitioners to realize the potential benefits and limitations of hypnosis, lie detection, sleep, and biofeedback, and the roles played by specific and nonspecific factors in psychotherapy and behavioral medicine. His analysis of the social context of the experiment has elucidated the importance of demand characteristics in shaping experience and behavior, and helped alter the way in which both experimentalists and clinicians evaluate the reactions of subjects, clients, and patients. Psychologist, physician, scientist, clinician, editor, and expert witness, no one better exemplifies the theoretical and practical advantages of transcending disciplinary boundaries in the pursuit of our common goals."

Biography

Martin T. Orne was born in Vienna, Austria, on October 16, 1927, the second son of academically active physicians; his father was a surgeon and his mother, a psychiatrist. Throughout childhood he displayed an intellectual curiosity and an insistence on understanding why and how things work. Fortunately, his parents had an abiding commitment to such pursuits and tolerated the consequences of his desire to question assumptions generally taken for granted.

His family emigrated to the United States in 1938 near the end of his first year of Gymnasium. After he attended several schools in New York, including the Bronx High School of Science, his family moved to Boston, where he finished high school and entered Harvard College. As Orne turned 18 he left college and entered the army, where he was assigned to the Army Personnel Consultant's office, the primary function of which was to provide psychological services, including screening and testimony for administrative discharge. This assignment provided a fortuitous opportunity for him to gain an understanding of the practical application of psychological techniques. Because the war was ending, however, Orne shortly found himself as the sole member of the office, whereupon he realized his need to strengthen his knowledge of psychological matters. Being stationed near Rutgers University afforded him the opportunity to take a course and practicum with Anne Star, an outstanding clinical psychologist trained by L. Witmer. Thus, upon leaving the army after a year of service, he had clear goals for the future.

On returning to Harvard College, Orne changed his major to social relations. As an undergraduate student, he participated in the intellectual ferment that characterized that department's experiment in breaching the traditional disciplinary boundaries. In this climate, he was exposed to the diversity of perspectives provided by psychologists J. Bruner, L. Postman, E. Hanfmann, S. Stouffer, and G. Allport, by anthropologists C. Kluckhohn and F. Kluckhohn, and by sociologists T. Parsons and R. F. Bales, among others. The greatest impact on him, however, was to come from psychologists R. White, H. Murray, and R. Solomon.

With Robert White as his undergraduate thesis advisor, Orne studied hypnotic age regression, a phenomenon he had become interested in while in the army. The study yielded unexpected results, and White encouraged publication of the thesis, insisting that Orne be sole author. White's refusal to share the credit for a student's intellectual efforts and his commitment to science left a lasting impression on Orne.

Orne met Henry Murray at the end of his undergraduate studies, when Murray served as one of his examiners for high honors. Murray was instrumental in Orne's becoming a Rantoul Scholar, which led to Orne's admission to Harvard graduate school in the Department of Social Relations. He encouraged Orne to spend the year prior to graduate school studying projective techniques in Zurich and provided introductions to C. Jung and other distinguished European colleagues. Later, Murray also provided Orne with an opportunity to work with his group on the personality assessment of healthy persons.

Although Orne was committed to the study of psychology, he was interested in both normal and troubled individuals. His graduate training at Harvard provided a social science perspective and methodological sophistication. However, the kind of research he intended to pursue also required the medical and biological perspectives of psychiatry. Consequently, after completing the course requirements of graduate school, Orne attended Tufts University Medical School while continuing to work in psychology in his spare time; he was a clinical psychologist at the New England Hospital and Westwood Lodge and pursued his research interests.

On completing medical school in 1955, Orne took an internship at Michael Reese Hospital and then returned to Boston on a United States Public Health Service postdoctoral research fellowship at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center (MMHC), where Professor Richard Solomon, with whom Orne had taken courses during graduate school, was in the process of extending his avoidance conditioning studies with dogs to humans. Although Orne continued his research in hypnosis, psychophysiology, and psychotherapy while at MMHC, his work with Solomon afforded him an appreciation of how learning theory could contribute to an understanding of psychiatric problems. During this time, Orne was also greatly influenced by psychiatrists M. Greenblatt, E. Semrad, and H. C. Solomon. The latter pursuaded him to begin his residency the following year at MMHC.

In 1958, Orne obtained his doctorate in clinical psychology from Harvard as he completed his first year of psychiatric residency. He became a lecturer in the Harvard Graduate School and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. During the second year of his residency, he founded the Hypnosis Research Project at MMHC. In 1960, he spent a semester in Australia at the University of Sydney as a Senior Fulbright Fellow. On finishing his residency in 1961, he became a senior research psychiatrist at MMHC and an associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard.

The events of the year 1962 proved to be particularly significant in Orne's life. Most notable was his marriage to Emily Farrell Carota, who had worked with him while she was a graduate student at Brandeis University; their fruitful collaboration continues to this day. During this period, he also accepted the editorship of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, which under his stewardship has been rated as among the 31 core journals in psychology. He also helped found the Society for Psychophysiological Research. He published an article on the social psychology of the psychological experiment, which for a number of years was among the most widely cited articles in psychology. Finally, 1962 was the year he founded the Institute for Experimental Psychiatry.

Two years later, Orne received an offer from the University of Pennsylvania together with the Institute of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. With the help and encouragement of Professor Albert Stunkard, then Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, Orne moved his laboratory, the Unit for Experimental Psychiatry, to Philadelphia, where he has remained to the present day. By 1967, he had become a professor of psychiatry and an adjunct professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Orne's efforts during the years in Philadelphia have been prodigious, and his work has been influential; he is among the 100 most cited psychologists. His publications reflect his lifelong concerns about practical issues on the one hand and his interest in basic processes on the other. Orne holds the conviction that real-world application documents the ecological validity of laboratory findings just as laboratory research under controlled conditions is necessary to determine the relative contributions of different components of a phenomenon under study. He has

 

291 April 1987 American Psychologist

conducted research in the areas of hypnosis, sleep, social psychophysiology, biofeedback, and psychotherapy. To study these applied areas in the laboratory, he has devised novel paradigmatic approaches. Thus, he is known both for his consistently creative solutions to complex problems brought into the laboratory and for his ability to generalize insights obtained in controlled research to settings outside the laboratory.

Orne thinks of himself as a hybrid: European and American, psychologist and psychiatrist, therapist and scientist. His career is characterized by an effort to bring together different disciplines, paradigms, and problems. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that he is as much at home in the clinic as in the laboratory, in the courtroom as in the classroom, in the study of subjective experience as in the study of behavior. Because of his diverse interests and approaches, it is difficult to characterize him as either an applied scientist or a basic scientist. Rather, his style reflects a healthy disregard for artificial dichotomies, and his accomplishments suggest the value of intellectual curiosity unfettered by disciplinary boundaries.
