The book is aimed at an audience who is willing to give self-writing a try, and no previous experience of personal writing for self-knowledge and discovery is assumed. The writing activities at the end of each chapter are always imaginative and suggest strategic ways to students, practitioners, and supervisees who are seeking to explore personal and professional blocks, and especially those who enjoy words. For those who are experience in self-writing, the book offers a fresh look at the therapeutic potential of creative writing. It's an exciting reminder of how writing works and, unlike some of the art therapies, the only equipment needed is pencil and paper an somewhere to write. This is an exhilarating read and I found myself putting off what I was going to do and stating to write there and then.
