Summary/Abstract: With constant references to Cloninger, Cosman and mainly Gray for the description of a model (AS) with anxiety-as-introverted-neuroticism and sociability-asextraverted- neuroticism; with recurrent recourse to Rusu, Pamfil, Cosman and mainly Kant for the description of creativity-as-product; with many a reverence to Andreasen, Jamison and mainly Aristotle for the description of creativity-asprocess – we will stipulate that the connection between psychopathology (PP) and big-C creativity (CC), a “melting pot” from which we have extracted personality traits (PT) and then the genetic code (DNA), intelligence (IQ) and a certain zeitgeist (ZG), is quite organic, namely that big-C creativity (CC) feeds on subclinical hypomania (SCHM), formative originality (FO) and subliminal psychopathology (SLPP). In a rather more condensed formulation, CC (AS + DNA + IQ + ZG) is informed by SCHM and encoded by FO and SLPP. By entabulation: CC (AS + DNA + IQ + ZG) → SCHM → FO + SLPP. This book, hopefully part of a long-standing Artistic Personality series, is an overt illustration of the aforementioned thesis, with special reference to Ion Creangă and George Bacovia, two foremost Romanian representatives of prose (an 80% psychopathology in a sample of 110 writers) and poetry (93.75% psychopathology in a sample of 80 poets).

- Summary/Abstract:Saith the first sorcerer: ―The good news, dear Smaranda, is that your firstborn will be nurturing and protective of others – he will consequently be a good organizer. The bad news, however, is that this firstborn son of yours will be uncooperative, highly anxious, highly critical of others and unconsciously hostile; he will be driven by exaggerated feelings of power and he will fight for acceptance – he must always be ‗right,‘ whereas others are always ‗wrong.‘‖

- Summary/Abstract:Says the good doctor: ―The bad news, dear Zoe, is that your newly-born son can be anything, but a poet. A poet needs his hypomania (another name for the intensive creative episode) and, I chance to know that much from a highly competent source, the poetic process is out of the question in the absence of such trances, the more the better for the poet qua poet but, unfortunately so, the more they come the worse for the poetʼs mental health.
