ABSTRACT The lyrics of several Kacey Musgraves songs fit many of the criteria for usefulness in Poetry Therapy while employing many of the same structures and strategies found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Thus, they provide an invaluable tool for considering the therapeutic value of poetry in the literature classroom, and, potentially, for application in the clinical setting. Musgraves’ lyrics reflect universal experience and emotion, use clear language, and offer hope while dealing realistically with suffering. Several of her songs written in second person specifically follow a model similar to that of CBT. These songs help the listener to identify and reflect on the cognitive distortions behind anxiety and depression. They use metaphors to help listeners achieve greater awareness of mental processes and emotional states. Finally, they correct cognitive distortions and provide alternate metaphors that encourage more adaptive thinking and actions.

ABSTRACT The present paper analyses the therapeutic power of poetry in the form of poetic epiphanies and epiphanic knowledge in medicine, in two illness narratives of Ian McEwan. The first novel Saturday deals with a patient suffering from Huntington’s disease. The second novel The Children Act deals with a leukemia patient. Both of these novels show how literary and creative art forms like poetry can generate epiphanic moments for the patient and epiphanic knowledge for medical professionals which act as moments of opportunity to cultivate and encourage empathetic clinical practices.

ABSTRACT Narration is a tool to organize experience into a coherent vision that explains our identity. According to Paul Ricoeur, fictional characters and real people’s identities are made out of the use of discourse. The tradition of narrative therapy states the importance of the use of letters, notes, and certificates to strengthen the alternative stories that are co-built with the person in the sessions. The digital format makes it easy not only to send but also to share such documents with a wider community. The so-called counter-documents are those writings that do not focus on problems but on the actions performed by people despite the problem and that contribute to the construction of so-called alternative stories. This article reflects on the use of these writings with literary merit for psychotherapy and also claims the need for psychotherapy to be updated and adapted to the current digital cultural context.

ABSTRACT Story Emotion Social Therapy, a new interdisciplinary mental health and speech-language pathology framework, is based upon the healing power of words. This framework is designed to complement varied interprofessional therapeutic approaches to meet the complexity of human needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy and story grammar bridge the disciplines, and is supported by emotional intelligence, mindfulness, narrative therapy, poetry therapy, and narrative language. Individuals learn to identify and tell personal stories, recognize thoughts and emotions, and incorporate more realistic cognitive mindsets. Interdisciplinary roles are detailed. Practical applications and client vignettes are included.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to look into the impact of poetry therapy program on personal and social performance as well as self-esteem in patients with mental illnesses (schizophrenia and bipolar syndrome). The research is an experimental study that employs pretest and posttest models. It was conducted with follow-up patients at the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), between 8 February 2022 and 4 April 2022. The data were collected with Personal Information Form, Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. There is a significant difference in the patients’ self-esteem scores after therapy based on their group (t (25) = –2.396; p = .024 < .05). The control group's posttherapy self-esteem scores (x̄ = 3.333) were found to be higher than the treatment group's posttherapy self-esteem scores (x̄ = 1.917). There was a significant increase in posttherapy personal and social performance level (x̄ = 66.319) compared to pretherapy personal and social performance level (x̄ = 61.806) (t = –3.223; p = .008 < .05).

ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of interaction with metaphors on a measure of creative potential: ideational fluency. For this purpose, 150 Mexican college students were selected. They were assigned to two experimental conditions (major and minor interaction with metaphors) and a control group. The CREA Creative Intelligence Test was used as a measure of ideational fluency and two instruments were developed for the presentation of metaphors. As a control measure, an instrument for the presentation of synonyms was developed. All instruments were designed and presented in Superlab. The analysis of covariance showed statistically significant differences (p < .001) between the means of the three groups, where high scores were consistent with the groups with the greatest exposure. The discussion of the findings revolves around the cognitive implications of metaphors and its possible applications.

ABSTRACT This case study shares the history and treatment of a poet who struggled with multiple sclerosis for over 20 years, and how a clinical social worker and registered poetry/drama therapist continued to work with a person whose writing and speaking capacity progressively diminished. Poetry therapy, drama therapy, family therapy and individual therapy were all used to maintain the core identity of the poet, whose expressive capabilities were essential to her sense of self.
