文档介绍：Creativity, Spirituality,
and Mental Health
This book emphasizes the integral connections between imagination, creativity,
and spirituality and their role in healing. First, the author highlights the work
of a neglected yet important psychoanalyst, Marion Milner – a painter and
undeclared mystic – expanding her work on creativity, mysticism, and mental
health. Second, she explores imagination and creativity as expressed in fostering
hope and in spiritually-oriented therapies, particularly for mood, anxiety, and
eating disorders – offering practical application of studies in imagination
and the arts. Raab Mayo concludes that both creativity and the potential for
transcendence are inherent in the human psyche and can work as allies in the
process of recovery from mental illness.
