Words for wellbeing: using creative writing to benefit health and wellbeing.

摘要

This welcome addition to the slowly growing collection of primers covering uses of creative writing work in an occupational setting draws most of its material from workshops, patients and clients based in Cumbria. A keynote introductory chapter by Marilyn Messenger puts some perspective on a collection that combines thoughtful investigations of elements of creative writing used in a therapeutic setting with a vibrant and varied selection of work produced by patients and participants in workshops. Words for wellbeing offers a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any therapist or health practitioner looking to expand their professional expertise.
