Susan Kolodny's 'The Captive Muse: On Creativity and its Inhibition' is a psychanalytic examination of the reasons writers and artists get blocked. The text and its argument are case studies heavy, with the studies inserted throughout to illustrate the specific events that lead to the blocks, how those blocks manifest and how they were overcome. A worthy read!
