The Neuropsychology of Creativity

In chapters that progress sequentially from case series investigations in neurology and psychiatry to single case studies, the researchers render salient insights that enable a more lucid understanding of the inner workings of creative mind. Treatment of the subject matter contained in this volume is both broad and comprehensive.
