Using as a springboard a brief account of Beethoven’s biography and a sampling of his music, the presenters will consider aspects of the relation between psychological profile and artistic production, especially with regard to creativity in music. What is the meaning of form in music, in fantasy, in the treatment setting? How does our understanding of the relation between mental disorders and creativity differ today from the early days of psychoanalysis? These are among the topics to be addressed in this presentation.
