Title: Psychotherapy With People in the Arts
First published: April 2002
Description: "This riveting collection of case histories illustrates the dark interplay of neurosis and creativity. Psychotherapy with People in the Arts: Nurturing Creativity explores the struggles of writers, painters, actors, and composers to reconcile their overwhelming need to create and the self-doubts, frustrations, and neuroses that block their potential.

In addition to ten inspiring tales of healing and self-knowledge, this book provides a solid introduction to the primary issues related to emotional disorders and creativity and shows how family history, present relations, and genetics can combine to impede the flow of an artist's natural gifts."--BOOK JACKET.
