EHTP 3620 - Poetry, Healing, and Growth (Project X course)


Poetry has long been incorporated in processes of healing, enduring suffering, and creating meaning across cultures. This course examines particular ways that poetry can be used to facilitate healing and growth processes. Consideration is given to how poetry can be used intrapersonally, in relational contexts including counseling or therapy, and other social or cultural contexts. Additionally, the course will examine the use of poetry by the therapist or healer as well as by the client or person seeking growth or healing. 3 credit(s)
