=== Dialectical theory ===
The term "dialectical theory of creativity" dates back to psychoanalyst Daniel Dervin<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dervin|first=Daniel|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wIV9AAAAMAAJ&q=%22dialectical+theory+of+creativity%22|title=Creativity and Culture: A Psychoanalytic Study of the Creative Process in the Arts, Sciences, and Culture|year=1990|publisher=Fairleigh Dickinson University Press|isbn=978-0-8386-3366-3|language=en}}</ref> and was later developed into an interdisciplinary theory.<ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Runco|editor-first1=Mark A.|editor-last2=Pritzker|editor-first2=Steven R.|title=Encyclopedia of Creativity|publisher=Academic Press|year=2020|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofcr0000unse_o5w3}}</ref>{{page needed|date=July 2023}} This theory starts with the ancient concept that creativity takes place in an interplay between order and chaos. Similar ideas can be found in neuroscience and psychology. Neurobiologically, it can be shown that the creative process takes place in a dynamic interplay between coherence and incoherence that leads to new and usable neuronal networks. Psychology shows how the dialectics of convergent and focused thinking with divergent and associative thinking leads to new ideas and products.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Holm-Hadulla|first1=R.M.|last2=Wendt|first2=A.N.|chapter=Dialectical Thinking|editor-last1=Runco|editor-first1=Mark A.|editor-last2=Pritzker|editor-first2=Steven R.|title=Encyclopedia of Creativity|publisher=Academic Press|year=2020|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofcr0000unse_o5w3}}</ref>
