The Handbook takes a pracademic approach to creative problem solving in negotiation and mediation. Pracademics used to describe the art and science of translating the theory of creative problem solving into practice, and conversely, converting the practice of creative problem solving into theory. It encourages an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems and seeks to draw upon the expertise of one discipline to enhance the problem solving effectiveness in another. It is particularly attentive to the areas between disciplines, the interstitial areas of overlap and ambiguity -- because it is that territory that is often fertile in discovery, surprise, and insight.
Volume One of the Handbook is primarily geared to serve as a guide, generally, to practitioners, academics, and students in the practice, teaching, and study of creative problem solving methods, tools, and techniques. The Handbook's approach is eclectic, and Volume One provides the practitioner with a panoply of potential ideas from the creative problem solving literature. With these ideas, the negotiation/mediation practitioner can experiment in ways that satisfy his or her personal experiences, skills, and talents.
Volume Two of the Handbook is focused on specific creative problem solving techniques and tools that negotiation/mediation practitioners across the country have found to be effective in resolving disputes or making deals. A highly useful feature of Volume Two is its multiple indexing to facilitate identifying techniques or tools appropriate for the problem solving task.
