Therapeutic Journal Writing : An Introduction for Professionals Paperback / softback
by Kate Thompson
Part of the Writing for Therapy or Personal Development series
Paperback / softback
Description
Writing a journal is not just about keeping a record of daily events - journal writing provides a unique therapeutic opportunity for facilitating healing and growth. The author of this book guides the reader through developing journal writing to use as a therapeutic tool.
Keeping a journal can help the writer to develop a better understanding of themselves, their relationships and the world around them, as well as improve skills of problem-solving, decision-making and planning.
As such, journal writing can be a powerful complement to verbal therapy, offering an effective and affordable way of extending support to troubled clients.
The book includes advice on working with individuals, facilitating a therapeutic writing group, proposed clinical applications, practical techniques, useful journal prompts, exercises and case vignettes.
This clear guide to the basics of journaling and its development as a therapeutic medium will be a valuable handbook for therapists, health and social care practitioners, teachers, life coaches, writing facilitators and any professional seeking personal development in themselves or their clients.
