• 1979 ----- color ----- 26 min ----- 16mm
• Creativity is often viewed as an "endowment of the elite few." Shows how the act of creative problem solving can be developed in each individual but is often inhibited by criticism or lack of self-confidence. Animated sequences explore the psychological underpinnings of creativity according to Freud and to the "split brain theory." Professor James L. Adams suggests ways of implementing the dictum, "The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas." Dr. George M. Prince takes us into a group creative problem session where professionals are at work generating solutions to real problems.
