Research has shown that engaging in therapeutic writing as a form of self-expression has resulted in enhanced clinical outcomes with clients in a variety of clinical settings. However, there is limited empirical research on the use of therapeutic writing techniques by counselors-in-training. The current research study explored counselors-in-trainings\u2019 perceptions of therapeutic writing and their evaluation of the technique. Social construction and narrative therapy formed the conceptual basis for the present study. A qualitative phenomenological methodology was used to explore counselors-in-trainings\u2019 perceptions of therapeutic writing. The participants were four master\u2019s level students who were in practicum or internship at the university clinic, and five doctoral students. Using semi-structured interviews the researcher asked counselors in-training to give their impressions of therapeutic writing with clients and evaluate its usefulness as a therapeutic tool. The data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach and the modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method. Five recurring themes emerged from the data, forming a composite picture of participants\u2019 lived experiences of the phenomenon. The five themes included: Externalizing and Processing Emotions, Writing versus Talking, Addressing Difficult Issues, Reflecting on Written Entries, and Clients\u2019 Reasons for Declining Therapeutic Writing. Overall findings supported existing literature on the positive impact of therapeutic writing techniques with clients. Results also indicated that participants became strong advocates after benefiting from using therapeutic writing in their personal lives. Implications for practice and counselor education are discussed." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC489.W75 S67 2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC489.W75 S67 2012_SotoAbraham" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001450/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Soto, Abraham" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2012.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-102)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "x, 108 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Abraham Soto.
