Review
Cutting edge recent research exploring the creativity-health interface…(edited) by two eminent scholars…exemplifies the very creativity it celebrates… -- American Journal of Psychiatry (156:12 (1999) 2012-13)

…unique and impressive....present ‘state of the art' in thinking and research on creativity…a ‘must' for instructors and others... -- Personality and Individual Differences (28 (2000) 198-199)

Review
“For its breadth and synthesis of divergent approaches, it is commendable and exemplifies the very creativity it celebrates...[b]ecause of the broad spectrum of studies brought together in this one volume, it is an excellent reference book.”–American Journal of Psychiatry

“...unique and impressive anthology (the editors) are themselves highly visible names.... The present 'state of the art' in thinking and research on creativity is indeed well represented..., large concluding chapters by Richards...nicely summarizes the main lines of theory and empirical findings.... For long the psychology of creativity has mainly been a branch of literary psychology.... The present volume has...a much higher concentration of empirical 'hard science' than is typical...main thesis recieves strong empirical support in the solid studies by Andreasen,Jamison, Ludwig, and Richards et. al...a 'must' for instructors and others with a serious scientific interest in this currently burgeoning subject.”–Personality and Individual Differences --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Creativity and psychological problems? Despite the popular belief in a link between these, and despite quite a bit of older literature-even going back to writings of Plato and Aristotle-many people have been reluctant to consider there might be some truth behind the belief. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Eminent Creativity, Everyday Creativity, and Health, November 20, 2003
By Tobi Zausner (New York City, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

Tobi Zausner, Ph.D.
