Writing Well is a practical handbook of creative writing exercises
which forms the basis of an indirect, nonconfrontational approach
specifically intended for therapeutic use within the mental health
field. Although people with emotional or psychological problems can
find creative writing particularly difficult and unsettling, when
writing courses are sensitively designed they are known to be of
therapeutic benefit to people with mental health problems. The
exercises are taken from the authors' successful practice with
groups of people from a range of backgrounds in a variety of
settings. The book is structured to be accessible and easy to use.
The warm-ups and main exercises are organised by themes, such as
positive memories, imagined worlds, changes and painful feelings.
Guidelines are given for developing and adapting the exercises and
practical suggestions for materials are included in the appendix.
This volume will be an invaluable practical resource and
imaginative inspiration for creative writing tutors and mental
health professionals.
