Introduction

Limits are causes of repression, and it is usually accepted that repression affects creativity. There are two different approaches to the effects of limits on creativity. According to the first approach, creativity increases parallel to the increase of limits and repression. According to the second approach, any artificial increase of limits produces passionate ñlocked inî mechanisms. A decrease of limits is necessary for an increase in creativity. Since it is never possible to eliminate some ñnaturalî limits, it is not necessary to create some other ñartificialî ones by introducing authoritarian attitudes. Creativity should be directed only toward the natural problems and limits.
