Design and Society: Innovation Through Appropriation and Adaptation

‘To strive for a culture framed on great design is itself a fundamental innovation imperative.’ Here, Guest-Editor Mark Burry poses the difficult question of how innovation might be achieved at a wider cultural level. How can society effectively seek to demand great design with confidence and authority? Burry looks specifically at the role of the design commissioner and the challenge of creating an overarching design system, as exemplified by the figure of Frank Pick, who in the first half of the 20th century steered London Underground's design identity, developing its enduring, highly distinctive graphics and architecture.     

Executive coaching: An intervention, role function, or profession?

Although previously considered a consultation intervention and a role function, executive coaching is now considered by some to be a profession. Currently, there is little consensus on its definition and how it differs from executive consultation and executive psychotherapy. This article begins by commenting on the Kilburg and Levinson (2008; see record 2008-03845-003) article and proceeds to critically analyze executive coaching as a construct.

American Psychological Foundation. National Media Award: 1969: Dave Smith, John Sharnik, and Harry Morgan.

Apresentation was made by Kenneth E. Clark, President of the APF to Dave Smith, John Sharnik, and Harry Morgan, the 1969 National Media Award winners. This year awards were made in two areas: one for newspaper or magazine writing; one for superior radio or television broadcasting. The Committee selected Dave Smith of the Los Angeles Times to receive the newspaper-magazine award and John Sharnik and Harry Morgan of CBS News to share the broadcasting award. This article describes the professional accomplishments of these three men. The Committee selected Dave Smith for his work in the article, "Dark Valley of a Boy's Mind," an in-depth study of Benny Smith, who on November 22, 1966, entered a beauty parlor in Mesa, Arizona, and killed five women, wounding two others. The Foundation cites Dave Smith for outstanding newspaper reporting through a "creative history analysis." Co-winners John Sharnik and Harry Morgan were singled out for their outstanding work in the production of two hour-long telecasts: "The Farthest Frontier" (January 1967), a documentary on the enhancement of the human mind and treatment of mental illness through chemistry; and "LSD: The Spring Grove Experiment" (May 1969), an examination of the use of LSD in treating emotional illness. The APF cited the two for uncommon skill in probing highly complex subjects and presenting detailed but lucid reports. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Harry F. Harlow: American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award.

Recognizes receipt of the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award. Harry F. Harlow is this year's recipient of the Gold Medal Award. The accompanying article notes that Dr. Harlow has built a distinguished scientific career upon the study of basic psychological phenomena that are simultaneously of great scientific interest and great social importance. It is fair to say that, while he has been concerned with learning and behavior changes accompanying maturation from infancy to adulthood, and while he has shown some interest in therapeutic communities, a larger share of his attention has been given to affective behavior--especially to the affective relations between parents and offspring and to the pathologies of these relations. The American Psychological Association Foundation presents its Gold Medal Award to a senior American psychologist in recognition of a distinguished and long-continued record of scientific and scholarly accomplishment. With the Medal goes a cash award of $1,000. Past recipients of the Gold Medal Award are Robert Sessions Woodworth, Edwin R. Guthrie, Edwin G. Boring, John F. Dashiell, Walter R. Miles, Gordon W. Allport, Heinrich Kliiver, Karl M. Dallenbach, Floyd H. Allport, Henry A. Murray, Sidney L. Pressey, B. F. Skinner, and Gardner Murphy.

Emerging Technologies and Drawings: The Futures of Images in Architectural Design

Mark Garcia , Senior Lecturer in History and Theory in the Department of Architecture, University of Greenwich, explores the technologically mediated future of drawings in architecture ‘without hands’. He highlights how multiple technological innovations are putting us on the brink of an exploding spectrum of possibilities for the image, and looks at three distinct areas of potential: new media and materials; emerging and future technologies; and theory embodied in fiction and art.
