Milnerâs great study, first published in 1950, discusses the nature of creativity and those forces which prevent its expression. In focusing on her own beginnerâs efforts to draw and paint, she analyses not the mysterious and elusive ability of the genius but â" as the title suggests â" the all too common and distressing situation of ânot being ableâ to create.

With a new introduction by Janet Sayers, this edition of On Not Being Able to Paint brings the text to the present generation of readers in the fields of psychoanalysis, education and all those, specialist and general audiences alike, with an interest or involvement in the creative process and those impulses impeding it in many fields.

Industry Reviews
"[This is a book] that has done so much over the years to bring about awareness of the interplay of inner and outer reality in art and in everyday life." -- Janet Sayers, from the Introduction.
