In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore Creativity and Mental Illness, edited by James C. Kaufman, a collection of expert insights from psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. The book critically examines the long-debated link between creativity and mental illness, questioning the "mad genius" stereotype through historical analysis and contemporary research. We discuss the challenges of defining creativity and psychopathology, the limitations of historiometric studies, and the potential shared cognitive, neurobiological, and genetic factors underlying both. Join us as we unpack the complexities of this fascinating topic and move beyond simplistic correlations.
