“If you can create with it, you can surely cope with it.”

Dr. Pinkie Feinstein

Founder of the Psycho-Creative Journal & Creator of the Psycho-Creative Approach

Dr. Pinkie Feinstein is the founder of the Psycho-Creative approach, a psychiatrist, author, and teacher whose work redefines the relationship between emotional life, intuitive intelligence, and natural creativity. Over more than three decades of clinical practice, writing, and teaching, he has developed an integrative model that places creativity, emotional flow, and self-love at the center of psychological healing and human growth.

His work challenges the traditional boundaries of psychiatry and psychotherapy by proposing that emotional suffering does not arise merely from pathology or deficits, but from blocked natural creativity, excessive self-criticism, emotional stagnation, and the loss of inner freedom. Through the Psycho-Creative framework, Dr. Feinstein introduces a comprehensive system built on seven foundational pillars:
self-love, the reduction of exaggerated self-criticism, emotional creativity, emotional transformation, addiction to problems, feminine-masculine energy dynamics, and the Healthy Nature Principle.

Dr. Feinstein’s clinical and theoretical work emphasizes the deep connection between emotional well-being and the ability to generate spontaneous, intuitive creative movement. His books, courses, and therapeutic tools demonstrate how intuitive processes, whether through painting, writing, emotional expression, or symbolic movement, restore emotional flow, dissolve anxiety, reduce inner resistance, and foster personal transformation.

He is the author of numerous Psycho-Creative books, including Self-Love: The Sacred Commitment, Emotional Transformation, Intuitive Painting at Home, Transformation of Anxiety, The Gift of Depression, Heal with Love, Dismantling the Fear of Abandonment, and The Psycho-Creative Temple. His Psycho-Creative Library, freely available online, offers a wide range of texts that introduce readers to the depth, playfulness, and transformative potential of the approach.

Across decades of guiding individuals and groups, Dr. Feinstein has trained thousands in intuitive painting, emotional transformation, Psycho-Creative coaching, and the development of creative consciousness. His teachings integrate psychological insight with practical tools, allowing individuals to experience emotional release, renewed passion, and a reconnection with their inner creative resources.

The Psycho-Creative Journal was founded by Dr. Feinstein to document, develop, and expand the theoretical foundations of the Psycho-Creative approach. It serves as the academic home for the evolving body of knowledge that emerges from this new psychological paradigm. The journal publishes foundational articles that articulate the core principles of the approach and welcomes external scholars, therapists, and creators who wish to contribute new perspectives aligned with the spirit of Psycho-Creativity.

Through his work, Dr. Feinstein offers a vision of psychology that is hopeful, humanistic, and deeply creative — a psychology that honors the inner movement of the psyche, empowers individuals to reclaim their natural emotional intelligence, and encourages the rediscovery of life’s inherent creative flow.
