The creative mind vs Depression and aggression in family interaction

The creative mind

Margaret A. Boden

1990

How is it possible to think new thoughts? What is creativity and can science explain it? And just how did Coleridge dream up the creatures of The Ancient Mariner? When The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms was first published, Margaret A. Boden's bold and provocative exploration of creativity broke new ground. Boden uses examples such as jazz improvisation, chess, story writing, physics, and the music of Mozart, together with computing models from the field of artificial intelligence to uncover the nature of human creativity in the arts. The second edition of The Creative Mind has been updated to include recent developments in artificial intelligence, with a new preface, introduction and conclusion by the author. It is an essential work for anyone interested in the creativity of the human mind.

Depression and aggression in family interaction

Gerald R. Patterson

1990

Patterson's work explores the intricate relationship between depression and aggressive behaviors within family dynamics. Through detailed observation and analysis, the book outlines how parental depression can contribute to the development and maintenance of aggressive patterns in children. It further investigates how these reciprocal interactions can perpetuate a cycle of distress for all family members. This research offers insights into the mechanisms by which mental health challenges manifest and are managed, or mismanaged, within the family unit.
