About
The Institution for Authority Research
Dean Gotcher founded The Institution for Authority Research in 1995. Originally, his research (spanning five years, reading over 600 social psychology books, many of which are foundational to earning a PhD in Education, Psychology, and Philosophy today) centered on educational issues, primarily Goals 2000. He began speaking full-time in 1997 (after teaching on the subject in an upper level class at a University). As the years went by the information was expanded to include the workplace, government institutions, and the church. He and his wife Karen (6-10-1950 -10-11-2023) traveled from coast to coast explaining the dialectic process and practice (praxis). He began giving seminars, explaining the dialectic process and diaprax and its application in our society.
In 2000, the first Diaprax Conference was held in Dallas Texas. Dean invited other speakers to join him. These men researched specific areas where "diaprax" is affecting our culture. Since then, IAR has held conferences in various locations around the country. These conferences provide in greater detail how the Diaprax is being applied in the workplace, the police force, education, government, and the church.
