摘要

It is usually thought that a favourable environment is essential for the development of creativity in children; but several data now show that people with outstanding creativity can have been raised in dysfunctional families. We examined the available scientific literature to verify this paradox. The data we retrieved show that creative personalities can emerge even in an unfavourable family environments. Several hypotheses have been raised to explain this phenomenon, and we will discuss them in the text. Among these, we highlight the creation of a parallel mental word, where the baby finds a shield from the outside word. The conclusion is that, paradoxically, children raised in an unfavourable environment can develop their own inner creative world to survive the stress, but in several cases, at the cost of producing mental health disorders.
