We all use writing as part of our clinical practice, however are we really taking advantage of the art of writing to enhance the clinical process?
Drawing from narrative and strength based clinical approaches, we will explore how you can introduce or augment the use of writing with your clients or clinical supervisees. The practice of writing can help reinforce progress and anchor reflections; stimulate creativity and expand clients’ stories.
We will examine writing practices that support your connection and rapport with clients and discuss best practice and considerations as they relate to different clinical modalities and client populations.
Learning Objectives:
- List five ways therapists and clinical supervisors can use writing to augment the clinical process.
- Adapt a writing ‘toolkit’, as informed by the clinician’s clinical modality and/or model, and the client’s needs and preferences.
- Explain the best practices and clinical considerations for using writing with clients.
- Create rapport and connection through writing.
