Uses and abuses of creativity

Abstract

Interest in creativity has increased considerably in recent decades, this represents a significant change to an area of scientific research that not so long ago was considered marginal or scientifically irrelevant. However, this growth in popularity is not always accompanied by the rigor required by scientific disciplines. The objective of this work is to try to summarize some of these difficulties and the advances in the field of the study of creativity as an area of interest for Psychology.
