So far, my research suggests that, over the last 85 years, two addiction groups have existed side-by side in the United States:— a “religious” community that squandered its alcoholism paradigm by doing no research; (Alcoholics Anonymous)— a “scientific” community doing research without an alcoholism paradigm to guide it. (Alcoholism Treatment: note that.

Over 60 years after I first innocently asked as a child, "How does one be a good person in a bad world?"; over 40 years after I first naively started helping people reclaim the humanity they thought they had lost to their addictions; 20 years after developing the core elements of "The New Moral Psychology of Addiction" and training thousands of alcoholics.

Any relevant follow-up to the 1939 publication of “Alcoholics Anonymous” will tell an historically important new story with the same urgency with which Bill Wilson first framed the narrative of the alcoholic drinker. At cogniventus.com, our worthy successor to A.A.’s Basic Text details how The New Founders Group (1991-2014) resolved the dilemma of.

Cogniventus models Recovery from Addiction as currently practiced—both non-professionally and professionally—as a scaled system of goods and services that, in moving along the line of transmission, encounter unanticipated emergent risks that are as dangerous as Addiction itself. Unprecedented applications of well-established industrial safety techniques in.

Grew independently out of President & CEO Doug Tieman's 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011 challenges to visit Caron Treatment Centers and provide leadership to their Wernersville, PA, staff on why addicts relapse after many years of dedicated recovery, and why they might experience a different, adaptive addiction that is unresponsive to known recovery protocols..

How do you engineer an adaptive, Self-Correcting Sobriety Pipeline that makes relapse obsolete and turns “Addiction-Recovery" into an oxymoron? We begin by radically re-perceiving the direct line of transmission that leads from addiction to sobriety through a more general model of how goods and services are passed along from conception to product. Testing.

Exposed several systemic flaws in the multi-level scale-up and transfer of a synthetic process from R&D to Manufacturing. Not only was the initiating problem resolved—with an impactful $14 million added to the next contract negotiation—but company-wide initiatives were put in place for: the multi-million $ recovery of precious metals; the doubling of R&D.

Assumed leadership of a cross-functional R&D Laboratory at the request of both the Chemical Process & Process Engineering Managers. Promoted a culture of ethical accountability while coaching Scientists, Engineers, and Operators to collaborate with limited resources while realizing both common and conflicting priorities. Unravelling the cross-functional.

West Deptford, NJ

After setting an unmatched standard for the reliability, repeatability, and rapidity of my experimental results, I was quickly recruited by the Engineering Manager to solve a multi-level Production problem that had baffled Process Engineers for over 5 years.

Union Beach, NJ

Based on my policy of following all my R & D Projects as they moved into Engineering and through Production, I was engaged by the Vice President (see Ned Polan’s recommendation on this Profile) to investigate an inexplicable increase in Manufacturing accidents, requiring me to manage conflict while interviewing employees in stressful situations, conduct.

Union Beach, NJ

Provided critical bench support for the development of several patents and papers. During a company-wide seminar on Steven Covey’s “The Eighth Habit,” I introduced a controversial demonstration of how Self-Help in general, and Employee Motivational Seminars in particular, actually demotivate and disempower employees.

Princeton, NJ

Starting at the beginning of the Science & Technology Pipeline, I began my career-long interactive study of how Goods & Services move from Discovery & Development, through Process Engineering & Manufacturing, and into Commercial Distribution. Developed a Safety Seminar that taught Scientists, Engineers, and Operators how to change their thinking in order.
