This is a production thesis that also utilizes a heuristic methodology to explore psychological complexes and creativity from a depth psychology perspective. The literature review examines the history, theory, archetypal nature, etiology, manifestation, and resolution of the complex as well as the origins of creativity. The author then shares her experience of uncovering and living with a self-proclaimed creativity complex in the form of creative-artistic piece---a memoir. Tending the complex in this way is an effort in healing and transforming the complex and is a step in the author's individuation. This effort will ultimately serve the author in her pursuit to assist others in their individuation. |
