Consumption of antidepressants: the French disease



I have this morning attended a conference International organized by the University of Paris V and Todd Lubart on the education of gifted children (http://www.icieconference.net/programe.php). The topic of my speech was, and artistic creativity Cyclothymia
in gifted adolescents: Evaluation and potential channelization.

I briefly recalled what I wrote in my book on this subject:

- Creativity is an interaction between the individual, the domain (music, science, literature ...) and " field "(experts, professionals, public criticism). - Creativity is a healthy defense (a concept Storr) against depression, anxiety or hostility

- Every intelligence allows creative sui generis (Gardner's concept of MI) and therefore the Wechsler tests are incomplete or outdated, especially in the arts. The Classic IQ must therefore be reexamined.
- Cyclothymia, from temperament to disorder, allows development of unusual creative ability of course if the symptoms are controlled and that the area is controlled (10 years of practice in general).
- Regarding the "capacity building" creative potential of children, I offer a free in the schedules (daydreaming and favor the elimination of anxiety), never losing sight of the sense of flow (flow), one highlighting the building of character and ego with the collateral damage, if any, must be borne by parents and teachers, resilience slowly and gradually taught the ability to feed intellectually and by experience during the child's "psychological moratorium" often related to the phase of dysthymic or cyclothymic bipolar child without educators seek to alter the temporary withdrawal of the child.

I actually few theories based on my reading the work of specialists who have studied creativity in the infancy of the most creative individuals of the twentieth century and XIX. Perseverance and resilience of these figures were of course outstanding but some gifted children (not all) naturally possess the resilience and strength of the ego (hypomania + dysthymia).

Think personalities and not to resume: Instead of formatting the minds of individuals out of the ordinary, why not encourage them to think for themselves, and develop their own coping strategies. Psychoanalysts have understood this and psychiatrists will realize one day ....

Finally, creativity is revealed little by little, and naturally in the individual "suffering" and that his defense is the most complex and most beneficial for him and his entourage.

The issue is not to educate or Spartan unusual for gifted children and cyclothymic but to marry their rhythms and desire to learn instead of imposing rigid methods and a consistent view of society as made public educational system in general.
