Keith Harary
"Keith Harary is a clinical counselor and experimental psychologist who specializes in psi research, and in the psychology of cults, crisis intervention, and stress." Harary was a long time subject in the SRI remote-viewing study, starting in late 1979/early 1980.
(Targ, Russell and Harary, Keith, Mind Race, Villard Books, 1984, pg 7)
1979 - Director of Counseling at the Human Freedom Center (which was founded by former Peoples Temple members Jeannie and Al Mills. It was the Center which involved Congressman Leo Ryan in his investigation into Jim Jones' cult).
(Targ and Harary, pg 113)

In 1982, Harary left SRI and founded Delphi Associates with Russell Targ. Delphi Associates was a consultancy which sought to apply psi to finding oil, gas, etc. Using Harary as a viewer, they claimed to have successfully traded in the silver market. (Targ and Harary, pg 176)

Former researcher at the Maimondes Medical Center psi laboratory. (Targ and Harary, pg 228)


Harary met Hal Puthoff in 1979, and in 1980 joined the research project at SRI. In his early twenties at the time, Harary was the youngest remote viewer with the project. There was reportedly some tension between Harary and Ingo Swann, because Harary rejected Swann's methods, including coordinate remote viewing. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 258-61)

After Russell Targ left SRI, he and Harary toured the world, including travelling to many communist countries, which made some in the DIA very nervous.

Before officially leaving SRI, Harary, along with Targ and businessman Tony White, founded Delphi Associates. Their first project was to develop a psi-related game for Atari, but Atari went under before the deal was completed. Delphi then went on to ty to predict silver futures on the market. After several reported successes, there were two misses, which scared off their investor. Each blamed each other for the failure, and the argument went public during a lecture Harary gave at the Esalen Institute. The feud continued into the 1990s. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 264-6)


Research director of the Institute for Advanced Psychology, San Francisco. Keith Harary is reportedly concentrating on his psychology career and shying away rom parapsychology.
