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.
