The definition and depiction of madness can greatly alter the opinion on whether or not creativity and 'madness' are related. 'Madness' is often a social construction of non-conformity and creativity, even in its more modern edifices of medicalization, psychiatrization, and even criminalization; with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) as the current mythology to explain human behaviour. This chapter will discuss the relationship between mental states and creativity, both as the construction and an expression of neurological and psychological diversity and as a tool for healing a wounded psyche. Both cutting edge research and intervention suggestions are offered to illuminate the connections between creativity, and the multiple constructions of 'madness.'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
