Psychoanalysis and community poetry workshops
Article Abstract:
Community writing/poetry workshops where participants can share in the open ended process of writing offer some of the same clinical benefits that group therapy does and can have positive potential for mental health and social growth. Poetry composition that emphasizes free association and unrestricted formation of images is very similar to the open ended talk in psychotherapy sessions.
