Intrigued by history's list of "troubled geniuses,"Albert
Rothenberg investigates how two such opposite
conditions--outstanding creativity and psychosis--could coexist in
the same individual. Rothenberg concludes that high-level
creativity transcends the usual modes of logical thought--and may
even superficially resemble psychosis. But he also discovers that
all types of creative thinking generally occur in a rational and
conscious frame of mind, not in a mystically altered or transformed
state.
Far from being the source--or the price--of creativity,
Rothenberg discovers, psychosis and other forms of mental illness
are actually hindrances to creative work. Disturbed writers and
absent-minded professors make great characters in fiction, but
Rothenberg has uncovered an even better story--the virtually
infinite creative potential of healthy human beings.
