The GAM/DP Theory III
|
A New Theory of Personality and Creativity
William A. Therivel
|
The Author writes, "I see myself as a scientist who has discovered some very important factors in the development of individuals and civilizations; and my theory is an explanation of both what makes people highly creative and what makes societies grow, prosper, and decline."
The author encapsulates his theory with the acronym GAM/DP. See Volume I for a more complete description.
Volume III builds on the research of the first two volumes. Part I begins by contrasting gifted children with challenged ones: a chapter of direct interest to the specialists in the field of personality and creativity, and to all educators. Eric Newton's classification of the personality styles of painters (into Classic, Romantic, and Realist) is causally explained and compared with the Berlinian classification of thinkers into hedgehogs and foxes. Part II identifies "The Strict Ritter Personality of the Japanese" and other DP themes.
