Writing is simultaneously an expedition into one's own soul, a careful approach to the inner world and the environment. It contributes to personal development by enabling individuals to address and work through relevant conflicts in life. Creative and therapeutic writing is an intense way to observe and experience things, to change one's usual perspective, and to expand horizons. This volume presents techniques such as imagination and dreams for this purpose. Anyone can write; no literary or linguistic skills are required to get started. Rather, everyone has their own way of expressing things. This workbook contains a series of writing exercises and tutorials for use by poetry therapists, psychotherapists, and writing instructors. It also supports attempts at poetic self-analysis.
