I was unable to discover any full-fledged biographies of Joseph Luft
or Harry Ingham, but I was able to locate many pertinent facts
regarding the development of the Johari Window.

Sincerely,

Wonko

"Joe Luft and Harry Ingham were researching human personality at the
University of California in the 1950's when they devised their Johari
Window.  Using a form of word derivation normally reserved for
suburban house names, they based the title on their two first names. 
Rather than measuring personality, the Window offers a way of looking
at how personality is expressed."

"The model is named after Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham and was first
used in an information session at the Western Training Laboratory in
Group Development in 1955 in the US."

"The first window has been around quite some time. When Bill Gates was
born on October 28, 1955, the window had just been described that year
in a paper by Joe Luft and Harry Ingham of the University of
California Western Training Laboratory. It's called the Johari
window."

"Windows-3 for Outstanding Performance" by Barry Welford, Strategic
Marketing Montréal (October 2001)
http://www.strategicmarketingmontreal.ca/newsletter-12.htm

"The word ?Johari? is a combination of the names ?Joe? and ?Harry,?
Joseph Luft, Ph.D., and Harrington V. Ingham, M.D., of the University
of California at Los Angeles. Drs. Luft and Ingham developed the
Johari Window model during a summer laboratory session in the 1950?s.
It first appeared in the Proceedings of the Western Training
Laboratory in Group Development issued by the University ofCalifornia
at Los Angeles."

"'Open Window' Communication"

"Luft, a professor emeritus at San Francisco State, also confirmed that
he made up the term "Johari" and that the term does indeed derive from 
his first name and the first name of a friend (Harrington Ingham)."

"A Progress Report LO17889" by Fred Nickols, Learning-org (April 27,
1998) http://www.learning-org.com/98.04/0273.html

"In the 1960s a group of scientific pedagogues/teachers, psychologists
and sociologists came together and tried to get clear about the
influences of individual behaviour in group-processes. Two of them,
Joe LUFT and Harry INGHAM, constructed a model for analyzing the
dependences and changes in interactions of groups, the so-called
»Johari-window«. "

I was looking for more indepth information on their backgrounds and
what led them to develop the Johari Window.  What were they working on
at the time?  What were their specialities?

I have conducted additional online and off-line searches, including
trying to locate a copy of the original paper, but I have not been
successful at discovering additional information beyond that which I
initially provided you.
There is very little information available regarding the Western
Training Laboratory either.

Your best bet is probably to locate either the original paper or one
of the early books written by Luft in hopes that it provides
additional background on the origin of the Johari Window.  I would
suggest contacting a university library if you have one in your area.

Sincerely,

Wonko
