MAJOR RESEARCH INTERESTS: 

1. Alternative ways of knowing 

(a) expanding intellectual knowing through the addition of embodied, feeling, and intuitive forms; 

(b) addition of forms of knowing from other groups and cultures (e.g., feminine, indigenous, 

Asian, African, Native American); 

(c) inclusion of mystical, direct, and paranormal forms of knowing 

2. Alternative ways of being 

(a) transformative changes fostered by exceptional human experiences 

(b) fostering a Taoistic way of being in the world (decreased egocentric striving, increased 

acceptance) 

3. Alternative ways of doing 

(a) direct influences of intention in the physical world 

(b) dyadic facilitation, through direct knowing and intention 

(c) possible time-displaced direct intentional influences 

4. Expansion of science, research, and disciplined inquiry through the creation, development, and 

promotion of novel ways of acquiring, working with, and expressing data and findings 

5. Identifying and questioning typically unquestioned assumptions of science and of certain spiritual 

and wisdom traditions 

BRIEF ALTERNATE STATEMENT OF RESEARCH BACKGROUND AND INTERESTS: 

William Braud earned his Ph.D. in experimental psychology at the University of Iowa in 1967. At the 

University of Houston (TX), he taught and conducted research in learning, memory, motivation, 

psychophysiology, and the biochemistry of memory. At the Mind Science Foundation (San Antonio, TX), 

he directed research in parapsychology; health and well-being influences of relaxation, imagery, positive 

emotions, and intention; and psychoneuroimmunology. For the past 17 years, Dr. Braud was Professor, 

6



Research Director, and Dissertation Director in the Residential and Global Ph.D. Programs of the Institute 

of Transpersonal Psychology (Palo Alto, CA), where he is now Professor Emeritus. At ITP, Professor 

Braud taught research-related graduate psychology courses, supervised dissertations, and conducted 

quantitative and qualitative research studies in areas of exceptional human experiences (mystical, 

intuitive, peak, transformative) and their interpretations, meanings, and life impacts; personal and spiritual 

change and transformation; alternative ways of knowing; the development and promotion of more 

inclusive and integrated inquiry approaches for transpersonal studies and science in general; and 

examining some underlying assumptions of science, psychology, transpersonal psychology, and certain 

spiritual and wisdom traditions. He has published nearly 300 professional articles and book chapters and 

serves on Editorial Boards of several professional journals. His website is:
