Men, Albert Rothenberg, pwofesè nan Sikyatri nan Inivèsite Harvard se pa konvenki. Li kwè ke pa gen okenn bon prèv pou yon lyen ant maladi mantal ak kreyativite. "Se nosyon a amoure nan 19yèm syèk la, ki atis la se konbatan nan, anòmal nan sosyete, ak batay ak move lespri enteryè,"Li te di. "Men, pran Van Gogh. Li te jis te rive yo dwe malad mantal osi byen ke kreyatif. Pou m ', ranvèse a se pi plis enteresan: moun ki kreyatif yo jeneralman pa malad mantal, men yo sèvi ak pwosesis te panse ki nan kou kreyatif ak diferan. "

But Albert Rothenberg, professor of psychiatry at Harvard University is not convinced. He believes that there is no good evidence for a link between mental illness and creativity. “It’s the romantic notion of the 19th century, that the artist is the struggler, aberrant from society, and wrestling with inner demons,” he said. “But take Van Gogh. He just happened to be mentally ill as well as creative. For me, the reverse is more interesting: creative people are generally not mentally ill, but they use thought processes that are of course creative and different.”
