“…It might lead us to the hypothesis that poetry is considered as a moderator in mentally disordered people, although they might not know the reason why they are yearning for poetry and art. (Mazza & Hayton, 2013;Mohammadian et al, 2011). It is interesting to note that "[m]any survivors of suicide have reported that [after their failed suicide], they felt compelled to search for […] preexisting poems and songs that expressed what they were not able to find the words to express" (Stepakoff, 2009).…”

A B S T R A C TThis study attempts to find a relation between the amount of interest in poetry and the degree of sensitivity, especially among the college students. If a positive correlation can be found, scholars and teachers may be able to offer students with weak perception of the environment, poetry reading. Dr. Elaine N. Aron's questionnaire, Highly Sensitive Person Scale 2007, was the tool of this paper to evaluate the hypersensitivity of students, the results of which were tested correlation with a number of five questions that was added to the original questionnaire. The added questions were to demonstrate the students' interest or disinterest toward poetry, and through Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and independent Samples T-Test it became possible to calculate the correlation of sensitivity tests and the interest in poetry. The results answered research questions, and it was found that except the question number five, there was no significant relationship between sensitivity and the other variables. However, the question number five which showed a positive relationship between sensitivity and the amount of empathetic understanding of those who are interested in poetry, could indicate a meaningful correlation by reminding that empathy is an equivalence of unconscious admittance.

“…There is also a lack of studies that assess the benefits of creative literary writing besides poetry. As for poetry therapy, it has been used mainly with people with severe mental illness and its rehabilitation benefits are well documented (Houlding & Holland, 1988;Mazza & Hayton, 2013;Tamura, 2001), but it has been also used with non clinical populations (Croom, 2015). In both situations, individuals are stimulated to translate into symbolic texts their own feelings and experiences that are more difficult to express in current verbal language.…”

One of the main aims of this scoping selective review is to clarify the differences between expressive and creative writing in the mental health context, not only at a conceptual level but also regarding its therapeutic effects. The other one is to identify the more efficient ways to develop therapeutic creative writing programs for a clinical population. Considering these specific aims, we employed a selective review on the writing therapeutic literature. We found that, although expressive writing is clearly defined and its benefits on mental health empirically well established, creative writing lacks a consistent conceptualization in clinical settings. Similarly, we reported several studies focusing in the therapeutic benefits of poetry, but other writings genres receive much less attention and are even more insufficiently defined. Since some studies support the idea that giving a significant content to a text is more beneficial, and considering that writing creatively offers new perspectives and meanings to the information, we propose that the development of creative writing programs should be tried. Aiming to develop such programs in the future, we give some suggestions based on already studied expressive writing methods.
