You want to become a writer? This question inevitably confronts anyone who graduates from a masters course in creative and therapeutic writing. The authors of this book, however, want to deal more with the scientific background of their method of creative writing. They show how creative and therapeutic writing can become part of counselling, teaching, training and overall self-awareness. This volume is recommended not just for insiders, but also for anyone who wants to use writing as an instrument in self-coaching, be it in personal or professional settings.
