Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Second Edition, presumed first printing. xi, [1], 260, [2] pages. Preface. Appendix. Bibliography and References. Index. Minor cover wear noted. Using genetics, experimental abnormal and clinical psychology, personality research, descriptive psychiatry and literary analysis, the authors present the revolutionary idea that normality and psychosis are continuous with each other. This groundbreaking work explores the lives and works of ten authors, among them Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who embody both serious mental illness and great originality of thought. The book draws upon personal diaries, historical archives, clinical records and literary productions, and examines modes of thinking such as divergent thought, over-inclusiveness, and autism, which psychosis and creativity might have in common. Dr. Gordon Sidney Claridge was a British psychologist and author, best known for his theoretical and empirical work on the concept of schizotypy[1] or psychosis-proneness. Gwendoline Mary Watkins (née Davies, 31 December 1923 14 January 2025) was a British codebreaker and author. While at Bletchley, she met the poet Vernon Watkins. They married in 1944 at St Bartholomew-the-Great. She was the author of several books, including Sounds From the Bell Jar, Dylan Thomas: Portrait of a Friend and Dickens in Search of Himself. Ruth Pryor has held teaching and research posts at the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of Washington, Seattle; Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford; and the University of Wales. This groundbreaking work is a unique collaboration between an Oxford University psychologist and two literary critics. It explores the lives and works of 10 authors among them Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath who embody both serious mental illness and great originality of thought. The book draws upon personal diaries, historical archives, clinical records and literary productions, and examines modes of thinking such as divergent thought, over-inclusiveness and autism that psychosis and creativity might have in common. Using genetics, experimental abnormal and clinical psychology, personality research, descriptive psychiatry and literary analysis, Claridge, Pryor and Watkins present the revolutionary idea that normality and psychosis are continuous with each other. Healthy varieties and styles of thought and perception substantially overlap with the inclination toward psychotic breakdown and, indeed, might at times be identical. Psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, therapists and general readers will gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between madness and creativity from this book. The authors discussed are Margery Kempe, Thomas Hoccleve, Christopher Smart, William Cowper, John Clare, John Ruskin, Virginia Woolf, Antonia White, Sylvia Plath, and Arthur Christopher Benson.
