“…This is in line with prior research that shows that it is important that psychiatric patients who are invited to engage in writing, are free to decide what to write about (Barbieri & Musetti, 2018;Van Lith et al, 2011). While it seems beneficial for individuals outside mental health care to write about traumatic experiences (Pennebaker, 1997), individuals in emotional turmoil or crisis should not be encouraged to write about difficulties (DeSalvo, 1999). This does not mean that difficult topics should be avoided, but it should be up to the patients to decide.…”

Creative writing might support recovery and wellbeing of patients with mental distress. Writing activities often take place in communities, social service facilities, or outpatient care, including psychotherapy. Hospitalized individuals however also need meaningful activities. Therefore, a one-year creative writing project was established at a Swedish psychiatric inpatient clinic. Creative writing workshops were led by established authors. The purpose was to provide opportunities for patients to develop their writing, support recovery, and offer meaningful activities. This study is based on interviews with the four authors who led the activities. The aim of the study was to understand the prerequisites and possibilities of integrating creative writing activities, led by authors, at psychiatric inpatient clinics. The authors sensed that a high level of flexibility was needed during workshops. Moreover, the time frame and the room need to be adapted to writing activities. Moreover, they described meaningful and supportive encounters, belonging, and joy. Clinical recommendations are presented.

“…Sikap tersebut merupakan perwujudan dari kepuasan terhadap kualitas kemampuan diri yang nyata. Reaksi positif seseorang terhadap penampilan dirinya sendiri akan menimbulkan rasa puas yang akan mempengaruhi perkembangan mentalnya (Pettersson, 2018). Kurangnya kepercayaan diri akan menunjukkan perilaku seperti, tidak bisa berbuat banyak, selalu ragu dalam menjalan tugas, tidak berani berbicara jika tidak mendapatkan dukungan, menutup diri, cenderung sedapat mungkin menghindari situasi komunikasi, menarik diri dari lingkungan, sedikit melibatkan diri dalam kegiatan atau kelompok, menjadi agresif, bersikap bertahan dan membalas dendam perlakuan yang dianggap tidak adil (Schneider et al, 2018).…”

“…Brady (2018) says of facilitating therapy in groups, that resisting the urge to speak, together with giving the group your full attention, provides the possibility for others to enter a reflective state. Creating ways for groups to sit in silence amid feelings of companionship is important to the group's social aspect and supports reflection (Billington, 2019;Fearnley & Farrington 2019;Kuiken, 2019;Pettersson, 2018). Jane explained how one time she could feel the silence wasn't companionable:…”

“…In creative bibliotherapy a facilitator selects a text to provide the primary structure and focus for reading aloud and group discussion to encourage emotional engagement with the text (Shechtman & Nir-Shfrir, 2008). The term creative bibliotherapy broadly refers to using imaginative literature as a pathway to personal perspectives of, and insight into, psychological, social and emotional challenges (Pettersson, 2018). This view of creative bibliotherapy is shared by the researcher.…”
