Description
The complex field of creativity has shifted away from the traditional humanistic, child-centred approach towards a more empirical approach. Both conceptually and methodologically, attention is now paid to the creative performances of adults and their achievements in a variety of settings.
Theories of Creativity explores this new emphasis and the renewed interest in the field in an exciting collection of articles by leading authorities who represent major approaches to the study of creativity.
