Biographie
William Fry suit ses études de médecine de 1942 à 1949 à l'Université de l'Orégon, l'University of Southern California de Los Angeles et l'Université de Cincinnati.
En 1952 William Fry rejoint l'équipe que l'anthropologue Gregory Bateson a réunie au sein du Veterans Administration Hospital de Palo Alto pour réaliser une étude du « paradoxe de l'abstraction dans la communication ». Parmi les autres membres de l'équipe on trouve l'étudiant en communication Jay Haley et l'anthropologue John Weakland. L'équipe s'intéresse à l'humour, au Zen (ils rencontrent Alan Watts et Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki), à l'hypnose (nombreuses rencontres avec Milton Erickson). En 1954, Fry quitte le projet Bateson pour faire son service dans l'US Navy.
