Abstract

​

This paper studies how trauma affects the Neuropsychology of creative writers to write literary texts by investigating the neuropsychological effects (Rahaman & Bhagat, 2023; Rahaman & Sharma, 2020b) of trauma on creative writers. Identifying the brain's reaction to trauma and the variables that control the body's stress response systems are at the forefront of scientific inquiry. Childhood trauma causes a wide spectrum of symptoms. Psychological trauma can have negative effects on brain function that are not only long-lasting but may also change the patterns of subsequent neurodevelopment, especially in children, although developmental effects may also be seen in adults, according to research conducted primarily from the early 1990s. Trauma can have a wide range of physical and mental repercussions. Writers when facing trauma, affect their writing style. This paper shows how trauma affects their neuropsychological activities as well as their writing styles. Furthermore, it showcases how and why a writer’s writing style becomes gloomy, violent, sad, broken, and hopeless. This paper examines the latest research on linking psychological trauma to alterations in brain structure and function as well as how they impact creative writers like Sigmund Freud and Virginia Wolf.
