Three positions concerning empirically detectable associations between (endogenous) psychosis and creativity are discussed: One which postulates a degeneration both in psychosis and creative people, another which tends to equalize creativity and psychosis and a third one which regards creativity as positive and psychosis as an illness. The latter position is well in accord with empirical results. These results are pointing to something which creativity has in common with psychosis. This common conditioning factor is probably a distinctive cognitive style and, depending on the specific context, presents itself either in a positive way (creativity) or as psychotic disorganisation.
本文讨论了关于（内源性）精神病与创造力之间可通过实证检测到的关联的三种观点：一种观点假定精神病患者和有创造力的人都存在退化现象；另一种观点倾向于将创造力和精神病等同起来；第三种观点则认为创造力是积极的，而精神病是一种疾病。后一种观点与实证结果高度一致。这些结果表明创造力与精神病有某些共同之处。这种共同的制约因素可能是一种独特的认知风格，并且根据具体情况，它要么以积极的方式（创造力）表现出来，要么表现为精神错乱。
