Product Description
Review
'Gillie Bolton, Victoria Field and Kate Thompson are doing remarkable, deeply meaningful work - with eloquence and compassion. They encourage writing to help heal spirits and minds. I salute their clarity and conviction - we need their wisdom in this world.' --Naomi Shihab Nye Poet, Editor and Educator, Texas
Product Description
The use of creative writing as a route to personal development is a powerful therapeutic tool - a fact that is recognized in the growing numbers of workshops and writing groups within professional contexts, including clinical, health and criminal justice settings. Writing Works is a guide for writers or therapists working with groups or individuals and is full of practical advice on everything from the equipment needed to run a session to ideas for themes, all backed up by the theory that underpins the methods explained. Experienced practitioners in the field contribute detailed illuminating accounts of organizing writing workshops for a wide range of different clients, together with examples of their outcomes. This book will be an invaluable start-up reference for arts therapists and professionals working across the health, social care and caring professions, and one that will be referred to again and again.

Writing poetry,
By Dr. John Laughlin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Works: A Resource Handbook for Therapeutic Writing Workshops and Activities (Writing for Therapy or Personal Development) (Paperback)
This was a dissapointing book for me as I was looking for good journal reference, but all their examples are taken from poetry. It is out of balance in that way and should state in the title that all the exercises involve poetry.

A Powerful Resource,
By Linda Elsdon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Works: A Resource Handbook for Therapeutic Writing Workshops and Activities (Writing for Therapy or Personal Development) (Paperback)
I am facilitating a writing workshop using personal narrative to explore what gives our lives meaning and this book has been invaluable to me. It is written with compassion and insight and is full of practical ideas and resources to explore. I know I will refer to it again and again.
