Article Title：The creative dilemma: The influence of Schiller's aesthetics on the life and work of Otto Rank
Abstract：
The impact of philosophical wisdom on the pioneers of psychoanalytic work is presented in this article, in particular the influence of Schiller's aesthetics on the theoretical and clinical work of Otto Rank. The essay will compare and contrast Schiller's major themes-in particular his notions of the aesthetic impulse, will, and his concept of harmonia-with aspects of Rank's contributions, namely, his notions of creativity and the art of living. Drawing from Schiller's aesthetic vision, Rank's notion that art and play are foundational sources for healing is described in the author's own clinical work.
