| Popis: | Although the power of writing has been widely recognized by such diverse individuals as health-care providers and poets, its use in group work has received scant attention. This article introduces interactive journal writing in which group members write not only for themselves or their leaders but also to communicate with other group members. This practice departs from the customary practice in which group members share their journals exclusively with the leader Several years of experience with this new format suggest that this adjunctive methodology complements the live group process, enhances a greater sense of community, and accelerates group cohesion. Advantages and disadvantages of interactive journaling are discussed. |
