Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis: Perspectives from
Analyst-Artists collects personal reflections by therapists who are
also professional artists. It explores the relationship between art
and analysis through accounts by practitioners who identify
themselves as dual-profession artists and analysts. The book
illustrates the numerous areas where analysis and art share common
characteristics using first-hand, in-depth accounts. These vivid
reports from the frontier of art and psychoanalysis shed light on
the day-to-day struggle to succeed at both of these demanding
professions. From the beginning of psychoanalysis, many have made
comparisons between analysis and art. Recently there has been
increasing interest in the relationship between artistic and
psychotherapeutic practices. Most important, both professions are
viewed as highly creative with spontaneity, improvisation and
aesthetic experience seeming to be common to each. However,
differences have also been recognized, especially regarding the
differing goals of each profession: art leading to the creation of
an art work, and psychoanalysis resulting in the increased welfare
and happiness of the patient. These issues are addressed head-on in
Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis: Perspectives from
Analyst-Artists. The chapters consist of personal essays by
analyst/artists who are currently working in both professions; each
has been trained in and is currently practicing psychoanalysis or
psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The goal of the book is to provide
the audience with a new understanding of psychoanalytic and
psychotherapeutic processes from the perspective of art and
artistic creativity. Drawing on artistic material from painting,
poetry, photography, music and literature, the book casts light on
what the creative processes in art can add to the psychoanalytic
endeavor, and vice versa. Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis:
Perspectives from Analyst-Artists will appeal to psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists, theorists of art, academic
artists, and anyone interested in the psychology of art.
