Many recognized geniuses had creative capacities that were driven
by bouts of manic intensity followed by the depths of mind-numbing
despair. From Plato, who originated the idea of inspired mania, to
Beethoven, Dickens, Newton, Van Gogh, and today's popular creative
artists and scientists who've battled manic depression, this
intriguing work examines creativity and madness in mystery, myth,
and history. Demonstrating how manic depression often becomes the
essential difference between talent and genius, Hershman and Lieb
offer valuable insights into the many obstacles and problems this
illness poses for highly creative people. Lieb critiques the wave
of new books on depression as well as those on creativity to
determine how far we have come in our understanding of this complex
illness.
The authors also explode the myth that suffering is essential to
creativity. Guides for the manic depressive are suggested to reduce
emotional pain and personal problems while increasing productivity.
Julian Lieb, a psychiatrist in private practice and former director
of the Dana Psychiatric Clinic at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and D.
Jablow Hershman authored Brotherhood of Tyrants: Manic Depression
and Absolute Power.
