Insight and creativity.
Abstract
The similarities between the process of creativity in art and science and the phenomenon of insight in psychoanalysis are examined according to the four criteria of thought: categorization, abstraction, context, and association. The thesis is that both creativity and insight are based on a synthesis of the operational modes of the primary and secondary processes.
