Reviews
Psychologist Charlotte Doyle has written a book about this creative process as it occurs in an amazingly wide variety of human endeavors, including mathematics, art, biological science, literature, the theater, classical music, jazz, and more. Some of the more familiar names are Poincare, Woolf, Tolstoy, Darwin, Picasso, and Sendak. Elizabeth Blackburn's field is microbiology, but her exploits in laboratory science will ring a bell with any laboratory scientist. The commonalties are striking, but so are the differences. To gain a richer, deeper appreciation of the creative process in its glorious human varieties, this book is indispensable. - James Allison, Professor Emeritus, Psychology, Indiana University-Bloomington The Creative Process is a masterclass on the imagination and its outcomes. I am grateful to Charlotte Doyle for sharing her insights into how things get made, for illuminating the pathways from impulse to creation. - Carol Zoref, author of Barren Island, Winner of AWP Award, The National Jewish Book Award, The H. Ribalow Award. Longlisted for the National Book Award. Few things create more sparks than the power of genius. Charlotte Doyle approaches creative processes in the arts and sciences from a storytelling perspective. Her focus is how creative geniuses - world-known but also hidden treasures - experienced through (self-)stories their creativity during specific episodes or projects. Her illuminating insights will inevitably open up more of this fascinating territory. This book is a rarity as it is an academic study which is both readable and compelling in a wonderful narrative style and manner. - Stephan Sonnenburg, Professor for Creativity and Branding, ICN Business School Nancy-Paris-Berlin

Author Information
Charlotte L. Doyle, psychology professor at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, New York, is an avid explorer of the creative process. She has written articles and book chapters on her research, on the educational implications of creativity findings, and on theoretical considerations such as how the features of flow challenge theories of cognition. She is also author of several textbooks including Explorations in Psychology and, to her surprise, seven picture books for children.
