Empirical literature examining psychological functioning among artists has yielded disparate findings. Much of this literature indicates that many artistically creative individuals suffer from affective and personality disorders and experience difficulty forming satisfying interpersonal relationships. Other research, however, suggests that artists infrequently suffer from psychopathology and possess abundant ego-strength. In an effort to resolve some of the controversy about the relationship between creativity and psychopathology, this study examined whether artistically creative individuals function in a generally psychologically healthy or disturbed fashion in their daily lives.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Empirical literature examining psychological functioning among artists has yielded disparate findings. Much of this literature indicates that many artistically creative individuals suffer from affective and personality disorders and experience difficulty forming satisfying interpersonal relationships. Other research, however, suggests that artists infrequently suffer from psychopathology and possess abundant ego-strength. In an effort to resolve some of the controversy about the relationship between creativity and psychopathology, this study examined whether artistically creative individuals function in a generally psychologically healthy or disturbed fashion in their daily lives.
520 $a Twenty graduate students, enrolled in Masters of Fine Arts programs, were interviewed about the presence of psychiatric symptoms and aspects of functioning in their daily lives. Compared to a control group of twenty graduate students enrolled in Masters programs in non-art fields, the art students exhibited: significantly more problems regulating mood; higher levels of suspiciousness; and significantly greater feelings of being exploited by others. No differences were found between the two groups on any measures reflecting serious psychopathology. This study, thus, supports the notion that artistically creative individuals function moderately less well psychologically than do non-artists.
520 $a An attempt was also made in this study to uncover aspects of intrapsychic structure that uniquely characterize artists and to explain how those aspects might be related to psychological functioning and the creative process. For this purpose, the psychoanalytic literature on artistic creativity was consulted.
520 $a Psychological tests assessing various psychoanalytic constructs were administered to the two groups of students. Compared to the control subjects, the art students exhibited: higher levels of primary process cognition; greater fluidity of self/other boundaries; more vulnerability to self-fragmentation; greater emphasis on idealized objects; more frequent use of transitional object relatedness; and greater preoccupation with early separation/individuation issues. These aspects of intrapsychic structure can, it is argued, account for both the artwork and impairments in functioning that characterize the artist.
