What can neuroscience contribute to the psychodynamic understanding
of creativity and the imagination?
"A Curious Intimacy" is an innovative study into the interrelation
between art and neuro-psychoanalysis which significantly narrows
the divide between the humanities and the sciences.
Situating our grasp of the creative mind within the historical
context of theories of sublimation, Lois Oppenheim proposes a
change in paradigm for the study of the creative process,
questioning the idea that creativity serves, above all, the
reparation of early object relationships and the resolution of
conflict. The book is divided into two parts. Part one, Art and the
Brain, introduces the field of neuro-psychoanalysis and examines
the contribution it can make to the discussion of gender and art.
Part two, A New Direction for Interdisciplinary Psychoanalysis,
draws on the verbal and visual artistry of Samuel Beckett, Paul
Klee and MarthaGraham to put to the test the proposed new direction
for applied psychoanalysis. Lois Oppenheim concludes by addressing
the future of psychoanalysis as it becomes increasingly informed by
neuroscience and raising questions about what the neurobiology of
emotion and feeling has to tell us about the creative experience of
an individual and what might constitute a neuro-psychoanalytic
aesthetics.
"A Curious Intimacy" will have great appeal for all those
interested in the study of imagination and creativity. It will also
be of particular interest to students across the humanities and
sciences and to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts wanting to
explore the contribution that neuro-psychoanalysis can make to our
understanding of the creative process.
