About us - History
An experiential course born from professional experience
K. Bradford Brown, Ph.D. and W. Roy Whitten, Ph.D. created the More To Life program as a way to offer others the unique skills and practices they had developed through their own work in psychotherapy and pastoral counseling.
Brad Brown first started to explore the connection between social, psychological and spiritual development as a young priest in California in the 1950s, and took this in a new direction when he began his studies in psychology.
In 1957 he got his doctorate in clinical psychology, and at the start of the 1960s was acting as Rector of All Souls Episcopal Church, opposite the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. He was active in the early days of the civil rights movement, before leaving the US to briefly become a visiting fellow in adult education at Oxford University.
As a psychologist and then as a practicing psychotherapist, Brad worked with many of the other pioneering therapists of his time, including Viktor Frankl and Alan Watts, a well-known writer and teacher of Buddhist practice, who played a key role in the introduction of Eastern thought to Western culture. Brad and his wife, Dr. Anne Brown, also a psychotherapist, founded the Institute for Family and Human Relations in Los Gatos, California in the 1970s.
