About this book

This edited book will address creativity and innovation among the two cultures of science and art. Disciplines within science and art include: medicine (neurology), music therapy, art therapy, physics, chemistry, engineering, music, improvisation, education and aesthetics. This book will be the first of its kind to appeal to a broad audience of students, scholars, scientists, professionals, practitioners (physicians, psychologists, counsellors and social workers), musicians, artists, educators and administrators. In order to understand creativity and innovation across fields, the approach is multidisciplinary. While there is overlap across disciplines, unique domain specific traits exist in each field and are also discussed in addition to similarities. This book engages the reader with the comparison of similarities and differences through dialog across disciplines. Authors of each chapter address creativity and innovation from their own distinct perspective. Each chapter is transdisciplinary in approach.  These perspectives entail a representation of their field through research, teaching, service and/or practice.

Reviews

“The individual chapters of Creativity and Innovation Among Science and Art: A Discussion of the Two Cultures originated as lectures given by the contributors in a course on the psychology of creativity taught by the editor at The Ohio State University. … The book is aimed at practitioners, academic administrators, educators, musicians, artists, scientists, and students.” (Robert B. Faux, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (30), July, 2015)
