Allison DuBois (born January 24, 1972) is an American author and recognized as a media. DuBois has stated that the use of his psychic abilities has helped US law enforcement in solving crimes, forming the basis of the TV series Medium .

His alleged strength as a medium was tested by Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona. While Schwartz claims that his research supports DuBois's psychic abilities, skeptics have pointed out deficiencies in DuBois's claims and Schwartz's research. Some of his claims about work done in high-profile investigations, such as descriptions of Baseline rapists, have proven to be false or slightly investigative. An event called "Medium" is based on Allison's experience and he is a consultant for the show. He has a vision, both from the past and the future, but especially the dream that helps the police overcome the crime.

Careers

DuBois calls himself a media and profiler, not a psychic, because the negative connotations he feels are associated with the psychic term. She claims that she became aware that she has the ability to communicate with a soul that went away when she was 6 years old. DuBois claims he uses this ability to connect dead loved ones to the living, as well as to help law enforcement agencies resolve crimes, such as Texas Rangers and Glendale, the Arizona police department, and that he uses this ability as a jury consultant. These law enforcement agencies have since denied any such cooperation exists or states that the tips provided by DuBois are unhelpful.

According to TV Guide , Allison DuBois spent four years participating in various tests at the University of Arizona to help their study of medium and psychic phenomena. Gary Schwartz, Director of the VERITAS Research Project, claims that DuBois has psychic abilities, arguing on March 6, 2005 TV Guide , "Anyone who sees closely the evidence can not help but comes to the conclusion that something is very real thing happened here. "At their first meeting, Schwartz said DuBois accurately described a friend of Schwartz who had just died. Impressed, Schwartz conducted a series of interviews, including one in which DuBois stated he had contacted the late husband of a woman in England, knowing only the woman's name. The lady, after reading the transcript of the session, confirmed that 80% of what DuBois said was accurate. Schwartz published his research in a book titled The Truth About Medium . According to a statement by DuBois, he does not support the book or Schwartz.

Medium

The television drama Medium , which aired from 2005 to 2011 on NBC and CBS is based on Allison DuBois's book, Do not Kiss Them Goodbye . The show was made by Glenn Gordon Caron, creator of Moonlighting and other television shows, who is also one of the writers for this series. It is manufactured by CBS Television Studios (has acquired original producer Paramount Pictures TV producer arm) and Grammnet, a production company owned by Kelsey Grammer's alumni of Cheers and Kelly Grammer's "Frasier". Patricia Arquette plays the role of DuBois, on the advice of Caron's boyfriend. DuBois stated on January 9, 2005 TV Guide that he initially thought Arquette was too liberal to play it, commented, "I mean, I have a gun, I have put people in the death penalty. was something that did not bother him, but he assured me he believed some people might come. "

"Every episode is not a biography of my life, it's just my life experience, it's an accurate portrayal of my life and the people who share it with a bit of Hollywood magic thrown in," DuBois said. He stated in both his books and in the January 3, 2005 edition of Sci Fi Weekly that the program is very similar to the truth of his own life. Some details of the Arquette character match the life of DuBois, such as her husband's name on the show (Joe) and the fact that he is an aerospace engineer. Both character and real life Dubois has three daughters, and the first case of character "consult" in a pilot show is with Texas Rangers, the law enforcement agency with whom real life DuBois accused him of first working.

Criticism

Skeptics like Paul Kurtz and Ray Hyman say that DuBois lacks inner strength. Skeptic James Randi says that people like DuBois give the appearance of inner strength through cold reading techniques. For example, DuBois, while doing his first reading of Schwartz, told him that his dead friend told him, "I am not walking alone," which Schwartz understood as a reference to the confinement of his friend to a wheelchair, which DuBois can not yet know. Randi says that Schwartz jumps to unsupported conclusions, because the idea of â€‹â€‹"not walking alone" can mean many things, and "of course does not describe being in a wheelchair." Randi also asserted that experiments that allegedly yielded positive results of psychic forces, such as those performed with DuBois, were not performed using appropriate scientific control. Given Schwartz's claim that his "several" experiments with DuBois were conducted under such conditions, Randi questioned why the rest did not, and showed a report showing that some of Schwartz's experiments were not done in accordance with standard scientific protocols. Schwartz's response point by point against Randi's criticism was published in 2005.

In 2005, Randi offered to have DuBois tested for his One Million Dollar Challenge. According to Randi, DuBois declined his invitation to the challenge. In 2011, JREF again issued a multimillion-dollar challenge to James Van Praagh, Allison DuBois, Sylvia Browne, Carla Baron, John Edward, and others to prove their ability in controlled experiments, commenting, "James Van Praagh and Allison DuBois have changed the artisan's art wood 'cold reading' into a multi-million dollar industry, preying on the deepest fears and regrets of the family, "he said in a statement announcing the challenge. "They should be embarrassed by the transparent show."

Former FBI profile, behavioral analyst and MSNBC analyst Clint Van Zandt, challenged statements about paranormals that helped law enforcement argue, "If psychics really work and if their results are not just the consequences of deceit (on the more [sic] bad) or good interview skills (at best), then why do law enforcement agencies have no psychic detective team, original X-Files Unit, or any other way to integrate this paranormal investigative ability? "
