The motivation underlying our development of a "handbook" of
creativity was different from what usually is described by editors
of other such volumes. Our sense that a handbook was needed sprang
not from a deluge of highly erudite studies calling out for
organization, nor did it stem from a belief that the field had
become so fully articulated that such a book was necessary to
provide summation and reference. Instead, this handbook was
conceptualized as an attempt to provide structure and organization
for a field of study that, from our perspective, had come to be a
large-scale example of a "degenerating" research program (see
Brown, Chapter 1). The handbook grew out of a series of discussions
that spanned several years. At the heart of most of our
interactions was a profound unhappiness with the state of research
on creativity. Our consensus was that the number of "good" works
published on creativity each year was small and growing smaller.
Further, we could not point to a journal, text, or professional
organization that was providing leadership for the field in shaping
a scientifically sound framework for the development of research
programs in creativity. At the same time, we were casting about for
a means of honoring a dear friend, E. Paul Torrance. Our decision
was that we might best be able to honor Paul and influence research
on creativity by developing a handbook designed to challenge
traditional perspectives while offering research agendas based on
contemporary psychological views.
