“…And in this innovative institutional context what would be the impact on traditional researchers' careers, with reference to the work of Diaz de Chumaceiro (1998, 1999a, 1999b, 2004? In this context, the researcher is also called into question: Will the polymath researcher (Root-Bernstein, 2003;Root-Bernstein, Bernstein, Garnier, 1995) with expertise in several disciplines find his niche in the research system as it stands at present, or will he be forced to become a super-specialist while at the same time working collaboratively, either within his own discipline or with other specialists?…”

A special niche in theatre history is addressed to begin to fill a void in the contemporary creativity literature. The present essay focuses on Maude Adams and James M. Barrie in an attempt to demonstrate that, serendipitously, Adams initially impacted Barrie's creative process, and thereafter became his platonic source of inspiration for the plays he created for her, meriting the belated title of muse. Set change theory is underscored as a plausible cognitive explanation for Barrie's illumination. The psychoanalytic theory of transference is proposed as an underlying mechanism for facilitating the change of mental set during the incubation stage. A brief discussion on a selective theoretical integration from the fields of cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience is followed by conclusions.
