Personal statements written by colleagues, friends and students in honor of E. Paul Torrance's retirement in 1985.
Guiding Creative Talent
Anyone with an interest in the problems of highly creative children will find this volume useful in guiding a wide range of creative talent at all age and educational levels. In preparing this material, I have drawn most heavily upon my own research and that of my colleagues concerning the creative thinking of children, adolescents, and adults. Although my emphasis is upon the problems of highly creative children, I believe you will find these materials useful in guiding a wide range of creative talent at all age and educational levels. I have also attempted to give these research findings and observations meaning from my experience as a teacher, counselor, and principal in a high school and as a college teacher and counselor, roles in which I have met many highly creative individuals. I have also drawn upon my research concerning behavior under emergency and extreme conditions, especially situations involving coercion.

Raina uses the cases study method as a tool for examining the life work of a man who has devoted his life to creativity studies. Ellis Paul Torrance's methods could in fact be disseminated in every classroom the world over.

The Creativity Passion helps creativity researchers to understand this creative person at work. Invoking Torrance's passion for creativity studies,this book will be an inspiration to readers.

There has never been a longitudinal study of creativity of this magnitude. Its findings will be useful to, and have implications for, several audiences: parents, teachers, counselors—especially vocational counselors—university and college instructors, and educational administrators. The Manifesto for Children was developed on the basis of the responses of 215 young adults who had attended two elementary sc...
