"The premise of this book is that creative self-expression is the foundation for mental health and well-being just as physical exercise and nutritious food are essential to the body. My aim is to explain why the human instinct for creative expression exists, what happens when we cannot express ourselves effectively, the sublimating role of creativity, how it aids healing, and how it can help us thrive. My four goals for writing this book are as follows:"--
9780197646229

Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)--Psychological aspects.
Creative ability--Psychological aspects.
