Creativity – A Vital Tool
Keywords:
creativity, play, child development, symbol, object relations theoryAbstract
What is the concept of creativity? Are we all born with it and if so, is it something that we can lose at one point? Is it something that we can recover, improve, adapt or is it a fixed variable? What are the origins of creativity? Is it a trait that is characteristic only of artists or can we find it in day to day life also? What are the psychological requirements in order to be creative? How can one measure creativity? How important is creativity in our lives? All of these are questions that I will explore in this article, based on real life examples and literature. The lens I will be using to address these questions are psychodynamic and theatrical.
