In the course of this narrative I shall provide a picture of the subjective side of creative thinking and the manner in which the creative process, for both the artist and the scientist as well as other types of creators, is the mirror image of the dream.

Janusian Thinking
Presents experimental evidence regarding janusian thinking and creativity.
Opposition and Creativity
The simplicity of opposition is more apparent than real. For one thing, there is an important difference between linguistic opposition and conceptual or logical opposition.
The Mutual Creative Process and Therapeutic Action
Janusian Thinking as a Psychological Process
Modes of cognition, affects, psychological structures, and dynamisms, bear some resemblance to janusian thinking and, in order to establish the psychological dimensions of the thought process distinctly, it is necessary to consider several of them. In this chapter, I shall discuss the following: Jungian psychology, dialectical thinking, dualistic thinking, conflict, and ambivalence.
Madness and Glory
Phillipe Pinel, the doctor who became the world’s first psychiatrist, struck the chains and shackles from the mentally ill in the midst of the French Revolution. Patients were living in hideous conditions, exposed to the public as freaks, and received no useful treatment. A patient in the Bicêtre asylum/jail, former ministerial assistant Guillaume Lalladiere, manages, unchained, to escape. Hiding from hospital attendant pursuers in the streets at night, he inadvertently learns of a plot against the leaders of the Revolution. He goes through the rebellion ruled streets of Paris and tries to give warning to responsible government colleagues and others but no-one except Dr. Pinel, when Guillaume is returned to the hospital, believes him. With Dr. Pinel’s treatment, as well as the support of Genevieve, Guillaume’s love, and Jean-Luc, a canny young boy, he improves. But the plotters learn he has confided everything to Dr. Pinel and both are threatened with arrest and death. (332 pp.)
The Creative Process of Psychotherapy
In this work creativity in psychotherapy is a rigorous and yet intuitive process. He offers examples from well-known psychoanalysts as Ralph Greenson,Theodore Reik and Jacob Arlow, from such family therapists as Lyman Wynne and the Milan team, and from Milton Erickson and his followers. This original work is a masterful guide to freer creativity in clinical practice. (575 pages)
