Abstract
This book presents research on the cognitive, emotional, and developmental pathways through which disclosure influences health. Although writing has been a popular therapeutic technique for several years, only recently have researchers subjected it to rigorous scientific scrutiny. The contributors to this book present findings on expressive writing and health outcomes and point students and scientists to new avenues of research. The volume contains illustrations of clinical applications for this technique as well as examples of how expressive writing can improve immune system and lung function, diminish psychological distress, and enhance relationships and social role functioning.
This volume will be of interest to researchers and practitioners who explore and work with expressive therapy techniques.
