Creativity: A Current Bandwagon

Reviews the book, Creativity and Education by Hugh Lytton (1971). Creativity is a current bandwagon in psychology, especially educational psychology. Creativity and Education is organized under four or five main headings: the creative process, measurement, personality, and effects of home and school environment. It will be particularly useful to teachers or laymen who want to know what, if anything, psychologists have found out and, despite its avoidance of technical details, it can be recommended to psychology students as a brief, well-written introduction to past and current work.
