 Golden Tree Pearl. Artwork (c) CS “The mainspring of creativity appears to be the same tendency which we
discover so deeply as the curative force in psychotherapy - man’s
tendency to actualise himself, to become his potentialities.” (Rogers, 1996: 350-351)
“I maintain that there is a desperate social need for the creative behaviour of creative individuals.” (Rogers, 1996: 347)
