Abstract
Discoveries in therapy and education about writing have rarely been shared between the two. This article attempts to bridge the gap through practical and theoretical explorations of the potentials of humanistic psychology and expressionistic writing pedagogy for academic and therapeutic learning. Based on his own experiences, the author creates a framework where education and therapy together seek a more holistic approach to their fields.
