Schoenewolf, director of The Living Center in New York City, a cooperative of therapists who specialize in working with people in the arts, presents case studies and analysis that illustrate the interplay of neurosis and creativity. The stories show clients in the arts reconciling their need to create with the self-doubts and frustrations that block their potential, and provide an introduction to issues related to emotional disorders and creativity. Racism and internalized self-hatred, the conflict between commercial and high art, and the drive for an impossible perfection are some topics explored.
