Expresszív- és kreatívírás-gyakorlatok irodalomterápiás és oktatási közegben

Abstract

Literary therapy can offer an innovative method not only in therapeutic developmental settings
but also during the educational process in schools, significantly contributing to the development
of students’ first language competence. Within the framework of literary therapy, the processing
of readings is typically accompanied by oral and written exercises, often in the form of creative
and expressive writing tasks. These are methods not unfamiliar to the school environment and
greatly support students in gaining experience with creating texts in various genres, as well as
in expressing their personal opinions and insights in a structured manner. The first part of the
study reviews the history of the professionalization of literary therapy, with particular attention
to its expressive branch, the practices of which can be integrated into education. The second
part examines the possibilities of applying expressive and creative writing exercises in both
therapeutic and educational contexts. Finally, the study addresses the expected outcomes of
incorporating these methods into education.
