Popis:	The apparent contradiction between the frequent incidence of affective disorders among highly creative people and studies that support significantly positive correlations between creative abilities and ego strength can be accounted for by distinguishing between the form and essence of the creative act. Creative potential is universal. All creative acts entail disrupting an existing homeostatic structure and subsequently synthesizing a new, more adaptive one. This cycle is a necessary part of the healthy response to stressful events. Thus, certain psychiatric illnesses can be reformulated as being disorders of psychobiological mechanisms underlying the creative process, a viewpoint that offers substantial benefits to psychotherapeutic efforts.
