Leslie Cardell, LCSW, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Manhattan, talks about creativity, creative blocks and her experience working with this issue in her private practice. She discusses concepts such as internal and external audience, disowned self and aggression as they relate to creativity. In addition to being a psychotherapist, Leslie has a background as an actor and teacher of acting.
Some resources regarding this topic include: Understanding Writer’s Block: A Therapist’s Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment by Martin Kantor. Two websites that offer information about creativity and creative blocks are creatingminds.org and creativity-portal.com. Please note that I found these resources in an information search prior to this interview and do not have enough information to offer them as specific recommendations - but they do look interesting.
