Abstract: | This paper illustrates the value of psychoanalysis in groups in promoting the creative potentials of diegophrenics. The concepts in diegophrenia and creativity are defined and described, with two types of creativity postulated: ego alien or oppositional and ego syntonic. Illustrations of how 12 major ego functions can be enhanced in therapy in order to allow the diegophrenic to recover his or her suppressed ego and free it from the ambivalence of subordination and revolt inherent in his/her prevailing pseudo-egos is provided. |
