The highly successful intervention model is demonstrated through
practical skill related exercises including - The Basics (sizing up
skills), The Add-ons (communicating skills), and The Applications
(controlling skills). This is a worthwhile series for any Law
Enforcement or Governmental Organization.
Everything is constantly changing and Robert Carkhuff, author of
The Human Sciences, believes changeability is the engine of
possibilities. Dr. Carkhuff, one of the most-referenced scientists
of the 20th century, is recognised as the father of human sciences.
He has been credited with breakthroughs in our understanding of
human relating, information representing and human and information
generativity. In The Human Sciences, he details the accelerated
movement of science from the slow, evolutionary changes of
Probabilities Science through the freeing of Possibilities Science
to Generativity Science. This is a powerful resource for business
professionals and educators who week to improve themselves and
their organisations. Here's a preview: Part I offers an
introduction to scientific models. The chapter on the human and
information technologies considers the economic implications of
technological innovation, the IT Innovative Solution which has
dominated the economic marketplace for 50 years and the HT
Generativity Solution which has made successful applications and
transfers over the past 50 years. In the chapter on the human and
information sciences, you'll learn about information modeling and
human processing and how they relate synergistically. In Part II,
Dr. Carkhuff describes the science of probabilities - the thinking
that dominates science - and how it no longer works by itself.
You'll learn how the changing conditions of the Data Age have led
to Possibilities Science which is infinite and now defines our
universes. In Part III, you'll explore how Possibility Science will
generate and innovate our continuously growing and changing
universes. It is here that Dr. Carkhuff introduces Generativity
Science and how it focuses exclusively on the freeing functions of
possibility science and generates new universes of possibility.
The new Science of Change emphasises our ability as humans to
become masters of our destinies. We can control our own
predetermined destinies, empower our own intentional destinies and
generate our own changeable destinies. In The Human Sciences,
Volume II, you'll examine the Science of Change and how it helps us
break through boundaries limited only by our intellect. This is a
powerful resource for business professionals and educators who seek
new processes for generating new and better ideas. Dr. Carkhuff is
a renowned social scientist who has been generating the science of
human generativity for years. In the earlier Volume I of The Human
Sciences, we learned how Probabilities Science dominated human
existence and defined the conditions of scientific experiments yet
was limited in its ability to describe, predict and control human
performance. We learned how Possibilities Science addresses the
limitations of Probabilities Science and led to Generativity that
defines the best processes for generating the best ideas. In Volume
II, you'll learn how the power of all three of these sciences is
employed by the Science of Change. Here's a preview: Part I defines
the Science of Change and presents a case study of how this
psychology was applied to economics. You'll see how a city was
dramatically transformed from a declining manufacturing base to an
exemplary information technology centre. In Part II, you'll learn
how the Science of Change enables us to generate solutions to any
problem in any human behaviour. And, you'll gain a roadmap for
change that is developmental and cumulative: We initiate
probabilistically, transform possibilistically, culminate
generatively and evolve intentionally. In Part III, Dr. Carkhuff
summarises how our goals as humans are limited only by our
intellect. The choice is ours.
Over many years, Bernard Berenson and renowned social scientist
Robert Carkhuff sought solutions to human predicaments by changing
the dimensions of the predicaments - requirements of conditions,
component inputs, transforming processes and function outputs. They
generated new and more effective paradigms for elevating the growth
and development of people and their endeavours. In the process,
they conceptualised "The New Science of Possibilities" and
co-authored a book by the same name. Dr. Carkhuff's greatest
contribution is The Generativity Paradigm that empowers traditional
sciences with "Human Intentionality." In so doing, he introduces a
whole new paradigm of Paradigmetric Measurement. Carkhuff and the
Possibilities Science is the story of Paradigm Change which is what
human growth and civilised human endeavours are all about. The book
is organised into seven parts covering: Scientific Influences -
Behaviourism, Phenomenalism and Ideation Scientific Generativity -
Hypothetical-Deductive Modelling, Generating Ideation and
Operations of Marketplace Positioning The Science of Science -
Paradigmetric Modelling and the Science of Generativity Generating
Possibilities - The Assumptions of Possibilities, Generating
Expanded Possibilities and Generating Phenomenal Possibilities The
Possibilities Mind - Generativity Processing Systems, Phenomenal
Processing Freedom, The Possibilities Mind and The Changeability
Standard Human Generativity - Processing Potential, Future
Generativity, Scientific Perspective and The Changeability Standard
Carkhuff and the Possibilities Science is the third title in the
groundbreaking Human Sciences series. In Volume I, we learned how
Possibilities Science addresses the limitations of Probabilities
Science and led to Generativity that defines the best processes for
generating the best ideas. In Volume II, we discovered how the
power of Probabilities, Possibilities and Generativity Sciences is
employed by the Science of Change.
The New 3Rs: Relating, Representing, and Reasoning is a book about
thinking skills and freedom. It is written for students, employees,
managers, executives - anyone who wants to become a more creative,
innovative, generative and skilled thinker and make important
contributions during their lifetime. The underlying idea of this
book is this: If you tend to follow others and don't direct your
energies to generating your own ideas, then you are missing
opportunities to use your freedom. To actualise your freedom, you
need to think creatively and innovatively, and this book shows you
how. You'll learn how relating skills empower communication and how
representing skills enable you to organize complex information.
You'll also understand how reasoning skills help you set goals,
analyse problems and opportunities, expand to generate new ideas
and options, make decisions, lead projects and evaluate
performance. In six chapters, the authors: Build a systems view of
individual freedom Introduce critical skills for thinking and
individual freedom - relating, representing and reasoning. Present
the skills of relating to information and the people who produce it
and explain the behavioural steps involved in getting, giving and
merging with people and other sources of information. Explain three
useful ways for representing information and introduce cognitive
structures for building sentences, systems and schematic models
Guide you through a reasoning process for creating information and
introduce systematic methods for exploring, understanding and
acting upon information to generate new and better information
Challenge you to unleash your thinking, enable your freedom and
empower a generation of free people - The Possibilities People.
Human Generativity: The New 3Rs: Relating, Representing, and
Reasoning is the fourth volume in a series of four. Volume one
explores the scientific legacy of generative thinking, volume two
introduces the experimental sciences and volume three provides a
thorough grounding in generative thinking skills.
