Writing a journal is not just about keeping a record of daily events - journal writing provides a unique therapeutic opportunity for facilitating healing and growth. The author of this book guides the reader through developing journal writing to use as a therapeutic tool. Keeping a journal can help the writer to develop a better understanding of themselves, their relationships and the world around them, as well as improve skills of problem-solving, decision-making and planning. As such, journal writing can be a powerful complement to verbal therapy, offering an effective and affordable way of extending support to troubled clients. The book includes advice on working with individuals, facilitating a therapeutic writing group, proposed clinical applications, practical techniques, useful journal prompts, exercises and case vignettes. This clear guide to the basics of journaling and its development as a therapeutic medium will be a valuable handbook for therapists, health and social care practitioners, teachers, life coaches, writing facilitators and any professional seeking personal development in themselves or their clients.

'How To' Guide books aren't supposed to be works of fiction, are they? (Even if some of the advice they give can be difficult to believe!) And writing manuals don't often tell a story, even if they tell you how to write one. Frances Nolan is a young girl with a problem - she reads too much. So much, in fact, that she begins to think she is a character in a novel that she's writing. This 'beautifully-angled novel about growing up and breaking down' (Richard Coles) is also a multi-layered book-within-a-book, cleverly charting the creative process of writing a novel and exploring the complex relationship between fact and fiction.

Writing therapy is a varied collection of poems of a brisk, forward taste. The poet uses her poems as a form of expression of the harmonies and tensions that reassure and perturb the mind, heart and Spirit. This is a canvas of emotional expression from the frustration of the African youth to the declaration of the feminist, the desolation of the lovelorn and finally the weathered contentment of the Christian believer!
