Bradford Keeney, Ph.D., is an internationally renowned explorer of the art of conducting ecstatic spirituality. He was accepted as a n/om-kxao (healer) among the Kalahari Bushmen, as Megan Biesele, Ph.D., former member of the Harvard Kalahari Research Group, confirms: “There is no question in the minds of the Bushman healers that Keeney’s strength and purposes are coterminous with theirs. They affirmed his power as a healer.” He is the subject of the book, American Shaman: An Odyssey of Global Healing Traditions written by psychologists Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson, which won a Best Spiritual Book of 2005 award from Spirituality & Health magazine.
Brad spent over a decade traveling the globe, living with spiritual teachers, shamans, and healers who trusted him to share their words and teaching with others. This work resulted in one of the broadest and most intense field studies of healing, chronicled in the critically acclaimed book series, Profiles of Healing, an eleven-volume encyclopedia of the world’s healing practices. A display honoring his breakthrough fieldwork and contributions to understanding the origin of human culture is part of a permanent exhibition in the Origins Centre Museum, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Brad also served as a professor, director, and founder of doctoral programs in numerous universities and is the originator of several orientations to psychotherapy. As a scholar, his classic text, Aesthetics of Change, was cited by Heinz von Foerster as a key text in the science of cybernetics. He is the inventor of recursive frame analysis, a research method that discerns patterns of transformation in conversation. Brad has given keynote addresses throughout the world, written numerous books, composed several sacred songs, and performed as an improvisational pianist.
