ABSTRACT
Creativity is a significant expression of human development and, as such, is determined and influenced by emotional, cultural, and social aspects. Creativity typifies a type of behaviour that produces a rupture or a change. In relation to this approach, our focus is creativity or lack of creativity within the couple relationship, and how both partners manage or fail to manage to work through their Oedipus complex. All this is likely to affect their marital relationship and their creative possibilities. A psychodynamic understanding plays a significant role in exploring and understanding the conscious and unconscious motivations that lead individuals to develop a couple or marital relationship, as well as their interactions, which can activate a creative activity or a destructive interaction. In the 1960s, Henry Dicks at the Tavistock Clinic managed to develop a significant psychodynamic approach to marital therapy. This has had a significant influence throughout the world.
