Product Description

Product Description

The act of writing is not just a form of communication but also a means to make sense of experience and arrive at a deeper understanding of the self. The combination of the creativity of the process with the achievement of something tangible increases feelings of self-confidence and self-value. Thus creative writing has been recognized as a form of complementary therapy to talking and reflecting and offers a cost-and time-effective way of extending support to depressed of psychologically distressed patients. Suitable for both health-care professionals who wish to implement therapeutic writing with their patients and those wishing to start writing creatively in order to help themselves, this text provides practical, tried and tested suggestions for beginning to write and for developing writing further.

An excellent practical guide.This book helps with the process of putting down on paper what one feels and how one is responding to a personal or professional issue.Writing can be illuminating and healing.Gillie Bolton is a Research Fellow in Medical Humanities and an award winning poet.She has shared her techniques with groups of doctors, nurses and counsellors,as well as hospice patients,prisoners and residents of old people's homes.The book explores the use of journal writing,fiction and poetry as well as dream analysis and is full of ideas and quotes from established writers and her own proteges.
