Poetry Clothing
Building on the American Psychological Association tradition of the arts
and psychology, this book addresses the therapeutic aspects and
clinical use of metaphor, narrative, journal writing, storytelling,
bibliotherapy, poetry, and the related arts. Based on clinical theory
and romantic philosophy, a unified poetry therapy practice model is
presented that combines the use of literature in therapy, creative
expression, and symbols/rituals. Poetry therapy has been formally
recognized for approximately thirty years and practiced worldwide with a
wide range of clients and in numerous settings including hospitals,
hospices, mental health centers, family service agencies, addiction
centers, schools, nursing homes, and correctional settings.
