"...[Eysenck] expertly weaves together a vast array of research, and proposes a theory which, although as yet not fully tested, suggests a creative and viable synthesis of the research on creativity to date." Shari Tishman, Applied Cognitive Psychology
Genius and creativity have long been related to psychopathology. In this book, Professor Eysenck examines the nature of genius, and suggests what role factors such as intelligence, social status and gender play in its expression. The book will be required reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers and sociologists.
