The Therapy of Poetry (Master Work Series)

This work is written for those interested in psychology, poetry, the use of poetry in a therapeutic context, and the study of the creative process as it occurs in normal development. The author of the text is both an internationally known psychologist and a recognised poet. The emphasis of the book is not primarily on the use of poetry in formal therapeutic treatment, but on the belief that poetry is part of normal development, and that it is one of the natural devices people possess to cope with the inevitable crises of living.
