This compilation of essays explores the mystery of human creativity and its connection to psychic distress and symptoms. The creative psyche opens its doors to show us one of its most intriguing paradoxes: the outlet of creativity speaks of a person with early-inflicted wounds but with a psychic energy able to enact a unique process of repair. Within creative psychism, the omnipotence of fantasy drives the creator towards the invention of an alternative reality that proportions three repairing elements: the construction of a meaning with which to domesticate the trauma; the aid of necessary recognition whose very lack lies at the origin of that early biographical fracture; and a new affiliation.
