I have written about and studied the psychology of creative writing and creative writers since 1978, when I published my first scholarly article and presented my first study, a survey of how creative writers viewed their early schooling. \u00a0(See this study attached.)<\/p>\n

This interest dovetails with my own dual path as a creative writer and a scholar about creativity. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I worked as an artist for the Poets in the Schools program funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, and this is where I started researching creative writers. Here is a list of the texts I have published. They include a book —“My Teeming Brain”: Understanding Creative Writers.<\/em><\/strong><\/span> I also have a chapter on creative writers in my book, Understanding Those Who Create<\/strong><\/em><\/span> (1st and 2nd editions) and in Understanding Creativity.<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>Other chapters \u00a0in edited books and studies are listed also. Not to be forgotten is my work in the arts-based research field, particularly my work in poetic inquiry. Take a look. The abstracts and full texts are available at ResearchGate.net. https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Jane-Piirto<\/p>\n

I have also done presentations that have not been published, and those that I can recall are listed here also.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
