Understood differently by different people, creativity has been
linked to novelty, originality, problem-solving, flexibility,
resourcefulness, self-expression, and health maintenance. In this
manuscript, creativity is explored through the eyes of an
occupational therapist. The author approaches creativity from two
angles; as a therapeutic modality and as a way of thinking. The
manuscript offers a thorough literature review of creativity and
its connections to occupational therapy theory and practice. It
brings a historical overview spanning from the days of the Arts and
Crafts Movement to contemporary approaches in occupational therapy.
Not only is the relevant research gathered and evaluated, but the
reader can also find practical applications of research findings to
practice. For instance, we learn about the factors that can
contribute to the creativity of occupational therapists and how to
best foster them in a modern work environment. The author also
explores some of the concepts related to the well-being of
occupational therapists, such as work satisfaction and work
autonomy and their correlations to creativity. The manuscript also
presents a novel assessment tool, developed and validated by the
author - the Creativity in Occupational Therapy Questionnaire
(COTQ) - which is intended for the study of creativity and
educational purposes. This manuscript is a must-read for anyone
interested in the use of creativity in health care and the evidence
behind it. It offers up-to-date information on the subject of
creativity in occupational therapy. However, its influence goes
beyond a specific discipline. It argues that creativity can be a
healing force, for both the client and the therapist, and that we
should do more to nurture it in our lives and at work.
