Partners and Partner Organizations

The Institute of Conflict Analysis, the Conflict Analysis Battery, and the Museum of the Creative Process are a hub of related projects that share focus on transforming psychology into a more dynamic, humanistic, and moral science.

The Museum of the Creative Process is a center of creative discovery, innovative research, and intellectual retreat. Located in historic Manchester Village on the estate of the Wilburton Inn, the Museum brings together a global array of both modern and traditional creativity. More than just an art center, the Museum is dedicated to understanding the psychological properties of creativity, bridging art and science to gain insight into human relations, interpersonal and intrapsychic conflict.

Trained at the Universities of Zurich and Lausanne, the University of Chicago, and at Yale, Albert is the author of many books and articles, including The Formal Theory of Behavior, Conflict Analysis Training, and Science Stealing the Fire of the Gods. Before retiring to Manchester, Vermont, Albert directed the Center for the Study of Normative Behavior in Hamden, Connecticut. Albert continues to lecture throughout the region and lead workshops at the Museum campus.
