What is it about?
I consider the relationship between schizophrenic thinking and creative thinking, providing an overview of the major views here. Positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypy seem to be related to both creativity (divergent thinking) and impaired left hemisphere functioning, while negative symptoms and negative schizotypy seem to be related to both convergent thinking and impaired right hemisphere functioning. The role of metaphoric thinking in schizophrenia should be further considered in future research.
