Fascinating Read,

This review is from: Creativity in the Schizophrenia Spectrum: A Special Issue of the creativity Research Journal (Creativity Research Journal Volume 13, Number 1) (Paperback)
Having been diagnosed with Schizophrenia at a very
young age and after a few years recently experiencing a very good recovery I found this book to be insightful and inspiring. The book has a series of articles from prominent researchers on Schizophrenia and creativity. Some interesting observations were made such as James Ogilvie's comparison of the Schizophrenic's experience to that of a philosopher in that both are preoccupied with foundational questions including creativity. I also found Louis Sass's article and critique of Kay Redfield Jamison's book "Touched with Fire" to be very interesting in pointing out areas where she may have overlooked potential for more schizophrenia spectrum styles of creativity. Particularly he considers more modernist and revolutionary styles of creativity that Schizophrenia spectrum individuals might have stronger affinities with as opposed to Bipolar spectrum individuals. All in all a great book and it helped me understand my experience of being a 'mad creator' better and gives hope in efforts of recovery, especially since I am a very young man and a music technology major. Highly reccomended for Schizophrenia spectrum individuals, loved ones, and just about anyone else who is interested in the fascinating relation between creativity and madness.
