Twórczośc jako mechanizm i dynamizm jaźni (Między naurobiologią i neurokulturą

The paper presents the concept of creativity of the Polish neuropsychiatrist, Kazimierz Dąbrowski (1902-1980), creator of the theory of positive disintegration. This author assumed that human psychological development is a creative process. The subject of creativity is the self (personality), which is the result of the development of five types overexcitability- of sensual, motor, imaginative, intellectual and emotional. The kind of increased mental excitability determines the type of work. Some claims of the theory of positive disintegration I confront in brain research made by Antonio Damasio.
