Description

Psychoanalysis and Creativity in Everyday Life: Ordinary Genius is an attempt to create a psychoanalytic space for the quest and questions of our everyday creativity.

Official creativity is normally applauded to the point of obscuring all other types of creativity, with detrimental consequences for our psychic life.

However, as Gemma Corradi Fiumara demonstrates, the creative force of ordinary subjects can be as vigorous as that of our acclaimed, official accomplishments.

Corradi Fiumara focuses on the unsung creativity which emerges from relationships and the world at large.

She explores how understanding the operation of creative impulses in an everyday setting can crucially inform psychoanalytic clinical work.

There are three main themes:Donald Winnicott’s Psychoanalytic WillMelanie Klein and the Other Side of GeniusGenius: Ordinary and Extraordinary.

Psychoanalysis and Creativity in Everyday Life advocates an inclusionary view of human genius, and demonstrates that creativity and genius can be manifested in everyday life with the ordinary as its focus of attention.

It will be key reading for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, philosophers and scholars in social studies.
