Abstract

Rethinking contemporary approaches to psychology in the world involves reexamining and critiquing the foundations and methods of this science in the face of new challenges and social changes. This means seeking innovative and more inclusive approaches to understanding and treating psychological problems. Rethinking contemporary psychological approaches is a necessary process that helps us adapt this science to the changing needs of modern societies. By utilizing innovative and more inclusive approaches, we can achieve a deeper understanding and more effective treatment of psychological issues. Creativity, as a multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon, is no longer considered solely as an individual trait, but rather as a complex process influenced by individual, social, and cultural factors. Contemporary psychological approaches emphasize the importance of nurturing and enhancing creativity in all aspects of life and believe that creativity can help improve performance, enhance quality of life, and increase individual and social well-being. Therefore, the present study aims to rethink contemporary psychological approaches through the important role of creativity.
