Abstract
“The events of Sept. 11 were an overwhelmingly visual experience that demanded, for many, a visual response,” wrote Paul Lieberman (2001) of the Los Angeles Times. During times of great stress, people often turn to creativity as a way to buffer themselves from that reality and as a way to process their internal psychology about that reality. According to Winnicott (1975), creativity provides a means for dealing with external reality by generating an intermediate space that belongs neith er to internal psychology reality, nor to external reality.
