Title
Genius and mind: Studies of creativity and temperament
Abstract
What is genius? How do individuals of exceptional creativity arise, and how do we recognize them? Are there easily identifiable psychosocial or personality traits associated with giftedness? What is the link, often perceived, between intense creativity and madness? By examining the lives and works of exceptional individuals in the context of psychosocial processes, this book attempts to answer some of these questions. Each chapter takes as its example the lives of creative individuals through history. Mozart's precocity, Byron's mania, Shakespeare's plays, the personalities of the great Italian Renaissance painters, and the psychoses of many celebrated creative writers are all explored. The emphasis on well-known historical figures makes this an accessible and fascinating text for all readers who have an interest in the psychology of genius and geniuses, as well as for students and researchers in the field.

Al examinar las vidas y obras de individuos excepcionales en el contexto de los procesos psicosociales, este libro intenta responder a algunas de estas preguntas. Cada capítulo toma como ejemplo la vida de individuos creativos a lo largo de la historia. Se explora la precocidad de Mozart, la manía de Byron, las obras de Shakespeare, las personalidades de los grandes pintores italianos del Renacimiento y las psicosis de muchos escritores creativos célebres. El énfasis en figuras históricas conocidas hace de este un texto accesible y fascinante para todos los lectores que tengan interés en la psicología del genio y los genios, así como para los estudiantes e investigadores en el campo.
