Amicro genetic approach to the relationship between creativity and aggression in mental disorders
Hilla Yaniv
Bar-Ilan University, Israel
The lecture will present a research investigates the connection between creativity and aggression in different
mental disorders, and examining their mutual influence on each other, in reference to Eysenck's three dimensions
of personality, as well as to other personality's traits. The study examines five different groups: (1-2) individuals
dealing with mental disorders – with or without a background of aggression; (3) creative-individuals; (4) aggressive-
individuals; (5) and a control group. The main comparison focuses on examining cognitive psychopathology, which
leads the positive aspect to creativity on the one hand, and the negative aspect to aggression on the other hand.
These topics are investigated by using various questionnaires as well as by the micro genetic-method, which uses
visual stimulation, in these study artworks. By using this method, it is possible to investigate the influence of visual
perception of stimuli and the way individual projects his or her inner world and personality is tested by examining
the projection content toward the stimulus. The expectation is to find relationship between creativity and aggression,
especially in psychopathology groups. This relationship connects broadly to the psychoticism dimension of Eysenck's
three personality dimensions, which is also expected to be high among the pathology’s groups. These pathology
populations were deliberately chosen because they are on the extreme expression of various personality traits and
dimensions, particularly the aspects related to measures of creativity and aggression. Consequently, psycho-therapy
for those populations can be suited specifically to the individual's profile, using different creative therapy methods.
