Preferred term

expressive writing and health  

Definition

  • For centuries people have written poems, novels, and journal entries as a way to help them cope with disturbing personal events. Psychologists, on the other hand, have traditionally followed Freud's lead and favored a “talking cure.” The idea that a “writing cure” may be at least as powerful was left unexplored until the mid-1980s, when researchers discovered that asking people to write about traumatic experiences improved their mental and physical health.
