Can Creativity in Conditions of War Trauma be a Danger to Personal Development?
研究波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那莫斯塔尔镇受战争影响的儿童,发现创造力较高的儿童对心理创伤事件常表现出负面反应,这种“对抗性”反应不被社会接受,导致其创造力潜能发展受限。
This research study is a result of joint activities carried out by practitioners and scientists with an aim of improving the situation of children affected by the war in the town of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was divided into two parts and governed by two ethnic communities, Bosnians and Croats. The research shows that the more creative children often reacted negatively to psycho-traumatic events; this type of ‘oppositionality’ was an unacceptable form of reaction in their social community, and as a result, they were less able to develop their creative potential.
