Introduction
Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes (CWTP) is a growing field of research and practice. This unique non-clinical MSc course allows students to learn experientially through writing and discussion, receive taught content on theory, and develop skills and aptitudes for working in CWTP. The course's core values are humanistic and person-centred, emphasising people’s potential for growth, change, and movement in a positive direction in their lives.
There is a strong emphasis on creating opportunities for participants to develop the personal qualities that becoming a facilitator of CWTP demands. The MSc draws on the range of current literature on theory and practice in both CWTP and counselling. It is open to theory and practice from other established creative and therapeutic disciplines and ethical and philosophical viewpoints and practices that support creative and therapeutic processes.
