Native artists in Nanjing Outsider Art Studio are individuals who have been medically diagnosed with different types of mental illness who have been socially isolated for a long time and without a high school diploma. Half of them spent only a few years in special schools for various mental and intellectual disabilities. Why are the native artists with less education who experience mental illness so interested in the study of the universe? In an in-depth interview with Guo Haiping and Aimee T. Liu, Guo shared his explanations of this phenomenon in the sphere of transpersonal psychology.
南京原生艺术工作室的艺术家都是被医学诊断为患有不同类型精神疾病的人，他们长期 脱离社会，而且都没有读完高中，甚至有一半只是在为精神和智力障碍者服务的特殊学 校上过几年学。对于这些文化水平普遍不高，而且还患有不同类型精神疾病的人而言， 他们为什么会对宇宙产生如此的兴趣呢？为此，CAET编辑刘婷对郭海平进行了深入采 访，郭老师在超个人心理学中发现了对于这一现象的更多阐释。
