Programmed writing (PW) is presented as a method for increasing efficiency and effectiveness in family therapy and prevention. A rationale for its use in structuring treatment is given. PW is a replicable and verifiable method which has been found thus far to be clinically useful as a secondary paratherapeutic and para preventive type of intervention with individuals, couples, and families. Several applications of PW, ranging from unstructured journal keeping to structured workbooks for specific symptoms, are possible. PW is relatively new and may have meager empirical support. Its impact on therapeutic and preventive outcomes with families has yet to be fully realized beyond the experience of a few clinicians. Implications for research, practice, and service delivery are discussed. Possible links of PW with a developmental theory of interpersonal competence are briefly presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
