  • This book is written for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and individuals interested in promoting creativity despite a history of adversity. It incorporates research findings from diverse fields of study in an effort to present the complex interactions between creativity, trauma/loss, and factors that promote resilience. The book covers general theories of creativity as they apply along the continuum from everyday creative activities to eminent creativity. Primarily, it looks at the person rather than the creative product. The book presents information about the psychobiological processes that are amplified within creativity, including the capacity to achieve flow (optimal) states. It examines the long-lasting effects of childhood adversity and early attachment in relationship to the effects they have on creative achievement. The book also outlines the psychological and neurobiological nature of trauma along with an in-depth discussion on shame and dissociation. It discusses strategies related to self-regulation, including hardiness, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. The book explores the constriction and fostering of creativity and well-being. It focuses on integrating two diverse fields, creativity and traumatology. The book is divided into three sections. Section One, Creativity, focuses on creativity theories as they relate to everyday creativity and to eminent creativity across all domains. Section Two, Trauma, attention is directed to trauma and loss across the lifespan. Section Three, Resilience, is directed toward regulation, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. Educators, students, and researchers can benefit from a greater understanding of the interacting effects of creativity, trauma, and resilience. Many talented and gifted individuals struggle with unresolved mourning; they falter in their attempts to realize their potential.
