Abstract: Encouraging students' interdisciplinary thinking may be a key element in facilitating their creativity. In this article, I describe a case report involving teaching styles and assignments designed to teach psychology from a more interdisciplinary perspective. I present examples illustrating how the arts and humanities can enrich psychology and vice versa, and I report students' responses to the interdisciplinary approach.
