P. Torrance described a framework for creative thinking processes in his 1979 book The Search for Satori and Creativity. Torrance said the important aspects of creativity are fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. He presents ways to facilitate these by using key words and application activities.
Paul TOrrance was a mentor to me re. the field of creativity. This books tells of his time in Japan, studying Japanese creativity. We was brilliant and big-hearted, a Southern gentleman, fine husband, and great mentor. Fascinating book.
While his writing is not always scintillating, what he has to say is ground-breaking in its truth and simplicity re. people and their potential, innate creativity, and creativity research.
He was selfless and tireless, giving of himself to people of all ages, from 4th graders through seniors.
