Abstract
ABSTRACT This article contributes to understanding the relationship between the concept of Poetry Therapy (PT) and its application in practice. The article examines the benefits of a Creative Interactive Poetry Therapy Model (CIPT) within a group-based intervention program for empowerment and well-being. The article reflects data of four studies in different school settings that practiced the natural expressive writing according to the CIPT model. The four studies used qualitative and quantitative measures to examine the effects of the complete CIPT process – writing, reading out loud, sharing feedback. Although the facilitators, the population and the research questions vary – the results show that such a process is effective for students and others who seek well-being. The studied written poems are one of a kind, express the human soul and touch the listener and the reader in a group setting. Being both unique and universal they empower participants in understanding themselves and the world.
