Poetry and Group Process: Restoring Heart and Mind.

Kramer, Aaron

Journal of Poetry Therapy, v3 n4 p221-27 Sum 1990

Chronicles a poetry session conducted in a state mental hospital. Notes that nothing in the session corroborated the staff's grim warning that the level of the hospital population was low. Suggests that poetry therapy can be an instrument for the restoration of heart and mind. (RS)
