Poetry Therapist

Patients in long term care and those suffering from emotional problems can sometimes be helped by the poetry therapist. Using examples of classical and contemporary poetry, the therapist encourages patients to express their feelings by creating poetry of their own or by taking part in workshops and creative activities designed to assist them to break down barriers. The poetry therapist contributes to meetings of the multidisciplined medical team and keeps records of progress. Most poetry therapists work in psychiatric institutes, long term care facilities and nursing homes.
