Description
The Self on the Page: Theory and Practice of Creative Writing in Personal Development by Celia Hunt. This book explores the potential of creative writing as a therapeutic tool, examining its influence on personal development. It is divided into two parts, with Part One featuring contributions from practitioners who share their experiences of using creative writing with diverse groups, including those with learning disabilities or dementia. Practical suggestions for writing techniques are also provided, making it useful for both academics and practitioners. Part Two delves into the theoretical background of therapeutic creative writing, drawing on psychoanalysis, philosophy of language, and literary theory. The contributors offer an introduction to thinking about creative writing in a personal development context, along with suggestions for further reading and insights into the potential evolution of this approach.
