interpersonal creativity, if it is creativity per se, cannot be regulated, kept tidy, in an adaptive way

Interpersonal creativity” will thus be a subtheme of this study of mutual synchronized regressions, growth-promoting therapeutic mechanisms that can lead to progressions in the structural and functional complexity of emotional and social development. These regressions that facilitate progressions in the therapy underlie the well-established clinical principle that the trajectory of the therapy is not a straight line, but nonlinear—movements both forward and backward, which not infrequently feels like “stumbling along together.” (i.e. in a hermeneutic way)
