Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament

by Kay Redfield Jamison

Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the author of the New York Times bestseller, An Unquiet Mind, Touched with Fire is an authoritative look at the relationship between manic-depressive illness and the artistic temperament. Psychiatrist Jamison advocates a restrained, humanistic approach to treatment that does not "cure" the disorder at the expense of artistic inspiration.

Synopsis:

Kay Jamison draws on her work as a psychiatrist and researcher in mood disorders to explore connections between manic-depressive illness and artistic activity. She applies what is known about the illness to the lives and works of artists including Byron, Van Gogh, Schumann and Woolf.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [271]-353) and index.
