Description: The papers in this volume touch most of the vital social, educational, political and psychological issues bearing on creativity. Each author speaks to a different theme but there is a general unanimity on one proposition: each is worried and wary about the deadening effect of group pressure and the negative sanctions that are placed on a deviant response.
