Taking Advantage of Adversity by Gail Feldman
* What if 75 per cent of what we now call depression is actually unresolved grief? * What if anger is actually an untapped energy source for creativity? * What if obsessive worry is actually restrained passion? Clinical psychologist Dr Gail Feldman casts tragedy in a new light as she presents grief as a catalyst for creativity. Portraits of a wide range of historical figures including the Biblical Job, van Gogh, Gandhi and Michelangelo - plus clinical case studies - illustrate how pain and depression can be transformed into powerful expressions of the self. The author's pioneering work in this field provides a map for finding possibilities and creativity among the ruins of personal loss and sudden life change.
In this beautiful and inspiring book, Gail Feldman shows how to transform adversity into creative expression and joyFrom Crisis to Creativity is one of the best road maps I have read to illuminate the way. Brian Weiss M.D., author of MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS
