Sumario:In this exciting new contribution to the study of creativity, psychologist, artist, and writer Dr. Patricia Stokes delves into the minds of famous creative artists and discovers the surprising source leading to their creative breakthroughs.

Learn about: - Strategic and structural constraints - Constraints as creative tools - Application of constraints to clinical experimentation"--Provided by the publisher.
