Assessing Interactive Creativity in Couples

David P. Sarnoff

Charleston, Southcarolina

The Couples Creativity Assessment Tasks (C-CAT) were designed based on research in the fields of creative problem solving and marital psychotherapy and the authors’ clinical experiences with couples in therapy. The tasks provided here can be used in a conjoint counseling session or as self-help home exercises for couples. The tasks are varied to assess different dimensions of interactive creativity relevant to good, long-term intimate relationships utilizing diverse modalities. The tasks include describing positive memories of each partner in the relationship, describing each partner’s positive visions for their future together, answering questions about each partner’s perception of the couple’s problem-solving abilities, and working on a brainstorming task together as a couple.

Key Words: creativity • interactive • couples • assessment • imagery
