Jim Tucker, Ph.D.
Jim B. Tucker was born in Goldsboro,
North Carolina, on January 1, 1960. He attended the University of
North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with
a B.A. in Psychology in 1982. Four years later he received his M.D.
degree from the same institution. He has resided in Charlottesville,
Virginia, since 1986. He was Board certified in Adult Psychiatry and
in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1992 and served as Medical Director
of the Child and Family Psychiatry Clinic at the University of Virginia
for nine years, from 1992 until 2001.
Tucker was raised a Southern Baptist and never seriously entertained
the idea of reincarnation until he read Children
Who Remember Previous Lives: A Question of Reincarnation by
Ian Stevenson. He contacted Stevenson, who also was at the University
of Virginia, and shortly thereafter, in 1999, accepted a part time
position in Stevenson’s Division of Personality Studies (now
Division
of Perceptual Studies, DOPS) of the UVA Medical Center. The
next year, he gave up his private practice and went to work at DOPS
full time with a UVA faculty position. After Stevenson’s death
in 2007, he succeeded him in overseeing DOPS reincarnation research.
In 2012 he was appointed Bonner-Lowry Associate Professor of Psychiatry
and Neurobehavioral Sciences.
Tucker has conducted fieldwork with children who claim to remember
having lived before in Burma and Thailand along with psychologist
Jürgen
Keil and the two have published several joint papers (Keil
& Tucker, 2000; Keil & Tucker, 2005; Tucker
& Keil, 2001; Tucker
& Keil, 2013). He has also studied the Scottish case of
Cameron, described in his book Return
to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children Who Remember Past Lives.
However, he has come to specialize in American cases, reported in
Return to Life and in his earlier book, Life
Before Life: Children's Memories of Previous Lives. He has
also published a scale to measure the strength of children’s
past-life memories (Tucker, 2000) and, with UVA medical student Poonam
Sharma, a study of children’s memories of the interval between
lives (Sharma
& Tucker, 2004). In addition, he collaborated with Antonia
Mills on a review of the past-life memory phenomenon that
appeared in the book Varieties
of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence,
published by the American Psychological Association in 2013.
Tucker’s work was featured in
an article
by Sean Lyons in the Winter, 2013, issue of the University
of Virginia Maganize. His investigation of Cameron is documented in
the The
Boy Who Lived Before, available on YouTube. Tucker has made
several media presentations about his research, some of which have
been posted to YouTube also: Scientific
cases for Reincarnation by Dr Jim Tucker, Friendly
Fire: Life Before Life (featuring Dr. Jim B. Tucker), and
Reincarnation
– Ian Stevenson – Childrens past life memorie
[sic]. He and his wife have four children.
