1:50 p.m--2:30 p.m- Dr. Ed
Gibeau - MAD
GENIUS-
Discussion: As far back
as ancient Greece, Socrates dismissed any
poet “untouched by the madness of the muses.” In 1992 Dr. Arnold
Ludwig, a psychiatrist, published a survey of 1,005 famous 20th century
artists and writers who suffered from mental malady. Are creative
people more in touch with their unconscious? Is mild mania “highly
conducive to original thinking” as Dr. Kay Jamison contends?
