About the Book

The Creative Systems Personality Typology is a sophisticated yet straightforward framework for making sense of temperament differences. It is based on Creative Systems Theory, a comprehensive perspective for understanding change and interrelationship in human systems. The CSPT is used by educators, psychotherapists, and organizational consultants as well as people simply wanting greater self understanding. It is notable for the depth at which it addresses not just thoughts and behaviors, but more fundamental differences in how we organize experience. It has particular application to understanding how relationships-from our intimate connectings to work teams-can be made most powerful and creative. It also has particular pertinence to the new, more powerful ways of thinking and relating on which our future depends. This brief introduction to the Creative Systems Personality Typology was developed as one in a series of Institute for Creative Development educational resources.
About the Author: Charles M. Johnston, MD is a psychiatrist and futurist. He is best know as the originator of Creative Systems Theory, a comprehensive framework for understanding change and interrelationship in human systems, and for directing the Institute for Creative Development, a Seattle-based non-partisan think tank and center for advanced leadership training. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the future and how we can best prepare to meet it. The concept of Cultural Maturity, a key notion within Creative Systems Theory, addresses how we best understand the times we live in and make choices that support a healthy human future. He blogs at www.CulturalMaturityBlog.net. The early years of Dr. Johnston's efforts, from 1975 through 1985, focused on developing and introducing the ideas of Creative Systems Theory. His book The Creative Imperative was the primary product of that first phase in his work. From 1985 through 2000, Dr Johnston turned to teaching and to further developing the ideas of Creative Systems Theory with colleagues at the Seattle-based Institute for Creative Development. Necessary Wisdom: Meeting the Challenge of a New Cultural Maturity was written as a more popular audience book on the concept of Cultural Maturity during that time. Two shorter works, The Power of Diversity: An Introduction to the Creative Systems Theory Personality Typology and Pattern and Reality, A Brief Introduction to Creative Systems Theory were written as Institute training resources and later made available in book form. From 2000 to 2012, Dr Johnston's work focused on further developing the concept Cultural Maturity and the ideas of Creative Systems Theory and documenting them in written form for different audiences. The first book in the resulting series, Hope and the Future: An Introduction to the Concept of Cultural Maturity, is intended for a general audience wanting to better understand the tasks humanity now faces. Cultural Maturity: A Guidebook for the Future is a lengthier work intended for those interested in developing the sophisticated decision-making abilities that leadership in times ahead will require in all parts of our lives. Quick and Dirty Answers to the biggest of Questions: Creative Systems Theory Explains What It is All About (Really) is intended for people who enjoy the audacity of "theory of everything" reflection.
