Overview

Avinoam Sapir is the developer of the SCAN technique ( Scientific Content Analysis ), a method for analyzing statements in order to read between the lines and extract significant information that an ordinary reading of the text does not reveal. It can be applied to any text, regardless of the circumstances in which the text was written, and without any prior information regarding the identity or personality of the writer of the text. SCAN analyzes a text or statement strictly according to the words used. In Linguistic Archaeology , Mr Sapir applied the SCAN technique with amazing results to a very well-known ancient text: the book of Genesis. Although he is personally very familiar with the Bible, even he was surprised to see the information that was exposed when the text was analyzed rather than being simply read. (Please note that the analysis is not a discussion of religion, but a discussion of language, and a demonstration of the use of SCAN in analyzing an ancient text.)A few examples: what actually happened between Cain and Abel? What was the real reason that Abraham and his nephew Lot parted ways? What really happened between Joseph and his master's wife? What was the secret deal between Jacob's sons and Pharaoh?Even readers who are not religious will find it fascinating to learn more about one of our most ancient books.As a bonus, the book explains the rules of SCAN analysis, and shows the reader how SCAN can be used to elucidate any text, old or new.Mr Sapir served in Israeli Military Intelligence and the Israeli Police Polygraph. He holds a B.A. in both Psychology and Criminology, and an M.A. in Criminology. During the past few decades, Mr Sapir has conducted training in interviewing for various government agencies in Israel, the US, Canada, and several other countries around the world.He developed the SCAN technique by conducting extensive research into verbal communication, looking into the linguistic behavior used by people in communication. The SCAN technique is currently being used in many police departments and other government agencies in many countries. More information about SCAN is available from Mr Sapir's website, www.LSISCAN.com.
