Abstract
This paper presents selected findings from a doctoral study into traditional mentor relationships in the lives of creative people. The study aimed to provide insight into traditional mentoring in terms of psychological well-being, self-actualisation, and human development. Methodological considerations were those of hermeneutics and heuristics. Traditional mentor relationships exhibit Rogers' (1957) core conditions for learning and Rogers' (1959) core conditions for creativity. This finding supports and enhances Bennetts' (1994) previous research. Mentors promote psychological well-being throughout life, and support the self-image, self-worth and self-esteem of the creative worker. Traditional mentoring and creativity should be viewed as instruments for promoting positive mental health.
