Creativity is the ability to produce something novel and useful that is a valuable contribution to a specific domain. It is a significant common factor in most forms of psychotherapy. Accordingly, it is essential to investigate its role both in psychotherapy in general and in specific approaches like relational, cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, systemic, and existential psychotherapy. Positive psychology in particular has pointed up the usefulness of creativity in psychotherapy. Here we draw upon a case example to show how the creative discovery of novel and useful solutions takes place in different dimensions: relational, behavioural, psychodynamic, systemic and existential. The case description demonstrates how principles of positive psychology are useful in many realms of psychotherapy. We propose an integrated model of psychotherapy that brings together different psychotherapeutic methods and is based on interdisciplinary creativity research. The integration of neuroscientific, psychological and cultural findings produced by creativity research can be expected to lead to a deeper understanding of psychotherapeutic, positive-psychological, and creative processes.
创造力是指产生新颖且有用的东西的能力，这些东西对特定领域有价值贡献。它是大多数形式的心理治疗中一个重要的共同因素。因此，有必要研究它在一般心理治疗以及特定方法中的作用，如关系、认知行为、心理动力学、系统和存在心理治疗。积极心理学特别强调了创造力在心理治疗中的有用性。在这里，我们通过一个案例来说明新颖且有用的解决方案是如何在不同维度上产生的：关系、行为、心理动力学、系统和存在。案例描述展示了积极心理学的原则如何在心理治疗的许多领域中发挥作用。我们提出了一个整合的心理治疗模型，它结合了不同的心理治疗方法，并基于跨学科的创造力研究。创造力研究产生的神经科学、心理学和文化发现的整合，可以预期会导致对心理治疗、积极心理学和创造性过程的更深入理解。
