Elastyczność psychologiczna w modelach CBT i ACT jako mechanizm chroniący w rozwijaniu procesów twórczych
Psychological Flexibility in CBT and ACT Models as a Protective Mechanism in the Development of Creative Processes

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyze the most significant components of psychological flexibility, which, according to current theoretical and empirical findings, may play an important role in protecting creative processes. Although the relationship between mental health and creativity remains ambiguous, and some studies suggest that creative individuals more frequently suffer from mental disorders, there is also research indicating that psychological flexibility can be recognized as a significant protective factor for creativity, understood as an element of psychological well-being. The article attempts to organize the existing conclusions from studies in this field. Our conclusions are consistent with current trends in the development of modern education and with the postulates advocating a shift in educational priorities, among which the promotion of innovativeness and creative thinking is frequently emphasized. The presented analysis is grounded in the cognitive paradigm, specifically in the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Elements of both approaches have been incorporated into an original creativity training program developed within the ERASMUS+ Talent project [Projekt badawczo-edukacyjny Erasmus + TALENT. Teaching and Acquiring Learning European Network Tools (2020-1-ES01-KA201-082366). Okres realizacji: 2020-2023].
