Since the very beginning of psychoanalysis there has been a long lasti ng discussion about the definition and the role of symbols and symboli sation within the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis. The discuss ion has been summarized by Orban (1976) and Speidel (1978). In this pa per a psychoanalytic understanding of creative processes and the relev ance of symbolisation for the course of treatment is presented.
