Abstract
The schizophrenia spectrum and the bipolar disorder spectrum involve different types of psychotic disorders. Both disorders have been linked to creativity. Primary-process thinking is evident in all psychotic disorders. Primary-process thinking has also been found to relate to creativity in normal populations. One possibility is that different dimensions of primary-process thought are dominant in different disorders. The cognitive dimension may be more dominant in the schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, and the affective dimension may be more dominant in bipolar disorders. Future research should investigate how primary-process thinking differs in these disorders and the implications for creative functioning.
