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.

ABSTRACT This paper concerns the book Tribute to Freud, by Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) (1886–1961). In the book, H.D. – an important person in the modernist poetry scene – presents her psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud (1856–1939). She describes how literature, sculptures, mythology, and symbols were central to their dialogues. I have analysed these dialogues with respect to the three components of poetry therapy, the receptive, the expressive, and the symbolic. Based on the analysis, I discuss how poetry therapy and psychodynamic practice can be integrated and how practitioners from the two orientations can learn from and inspire each other. I reflect on the presence of symbols and mythology in the book and suggest that the symbolic component, which has received the least attention, could be strengthened by the psychodynamic tradition’s acknowledgement of symbols and mythology. I also discuss how poetry therapy could inspire psychodynamic practitioners to acknowledge the expressive component.

ABSTRACT The gold standard for medical decision-making in pediatrics involves determining the “best interests” of the child and making the decisions accordingly. Accurately assessing the ethical concerns of children can assist care providers, such as parents, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals, in making care and discharge planning relevant to and reflective of what children need to flourish. However, the process of understanding children’s ethical concerns requires care providers to elicit their voices and address their hidden needs and desires into clinical care plans: a practice not commonly operationalized in hospitals. Found poetry was used to consolidate a three-year focused ethnography conducted at a large North American pediatric orthopedic hospital by rearranging interview transcripts into the poetic form. The ethnography demonstrated that children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI or brittle bone disease) have developed complex strategies to navigate medical decision making processes and their communities despite prevailing societal notions of children’s fragility. The poems crystallize children’s rich and nuanced ethical concerns as well as the factors that support or thwart their moral agency within the hospital’s socioecological context. Found poetry thus can allow healthcare practitioners greater ethical insight into children’s needs and facilitate professional reflexivity.

ABSTRACT Using a metaphor of welcome, respite, and healing – a storm home – readers will be encouraged to consider variations of the metaphor for grief and bereavement care. Limited commentary, research or theory are offered for this practice-focused article so that readers can simply ponder bibliotherapeutic practices for the care of others facing personal, familial or community losses. Think of this article as a case study for examples of welcome, respite and healing during troubling times.
