This book is a classic in its field. Eminent Creativity, Everyday Creativity, and Health contains an enormous amount of information presented in essay format and written by leaders in the mental health field. The editors, Mark Runco and Ruth Richards have done an excellent job in gathering these contributors and then in organizing their essays into groups to facilitate their transmission to the reader, such as "Psychological Health and Creativity" and then "Societal Health and Creativity." The essays not only show a connection between creativity and illness but also between creativity and wellness. Richards has also written an excellent series of introductions to each section to educate and orient the reader. The book will interest the general reader who is creative or would like to be creative but it can also be used as a textbook for students and as a resource book for health professionals.
