Title
Promoting creativity across the life span
Abstract
Creativity is a major driving force for human beings, urging people to try things a new way, see things differently, and imagine what might be. This book explores what is known about creativity and what people can do to promote it at all stages of people's lives—from preschoolers through senior citizens. The authors, all social scientists and many of them artists in their own right, cover a variety of perspectives, from programs aimed at creativity in children, to long-term research projects, to a new theory of women's creativity. This subject has reverberations not only for child welfare and the possible application of creative activities to help at risk children and families, but also for society as a whole.
