Expressive Therapeutic Writing

Description:

This book brings engagement and conversation to a cross‑pollination of creative and expressive writing and multi‑modal art forms.

Through the lens of expressive arts therapy, the authors demonstrate how writing can reveal the unexpected that emerges from art making. The lineage of expressive arts therapy includes artful writing, poetry, associative, creative, and memoir, for example, to engage in self‑discovery, growth, and restorative care. Each chapter is grounded in intermodal expressive arts with a central focus on creative and expressive writing, which is informed by movement, visual art, storytelling, music, sound, photography, and physical performance, including response art, and has writing prompts and invitations as well as playful and improvisational integrative arts writing explorations.

Creative arts therapists and expressive therapists actively searching for creative playful self‑reflective writing practice will find this book a rewarding resource.

Krystal Leah Demaine, PhD, MT‑BC, REAT, CTRS‑C, RYT, music therapist, expressive arts therapist, and professor of expressive therapies at Endicott College, practices HEARTful healing note by note through song, story, poetry, and creative curiosity.

Tamar Reva Einstein, PhD, REAT, expressive arts therapist, poet/artist, and teacher, crosses cultural borders in Jerusalem with the arts as her mother tongue, threading writing and arts like her threaded beads and amulets.


Editorial Reviews

Review

“Reading Expressive Therapeutic Writing made me want to live forever to be able to try a fraction of the warm and welcoming, exciting and interesting, moving and nourishing writing prompts and suggestions offered by these authors. Krystal and Tamar have shared deeply from their hearts, souls and vast experience generously casting a magical spell that rejuvenates and enlivens the act of writing and gifts it back to us as a power we each have but may have misplaced. If you have ever wondered if you might have anything in you worth writing, read this book and discover your soul. I love this book!”

Pat B. Allen, Ph.D., ATR

“This book is part treasure trove and part feast! The authors create such an inviting atmosphere to writers of all levels of experience. Those new to the practice will find gentle encouragement, those who have been writing for years will find rich inspiration. They bring you on a journey through many creative possibilities where everything belongs and writing becomes a vibrant act of healing.”

Christine Valters Paintner, Ph.D., REACE, online Abbess of Abbey of the Arts and author of over 20 books.

“A warm and welcome invitation to everyone, not just the so-called "gifted and talented," to enter the forest of words, with many helpful prompts and suggestions along the way, it is also the heartfelt story of a collaboration between two friends, both skilled practitioners, Krystal and Tamar.”

Phillip Lopate, Ph.D.

“Krystal Demaine and Tamar Einstein have gone far beyond autoethnography in creating this feast for the senses! The alchemy of their intermodal collaboration features writing as a bridge, container, mirror, and thread in its use across academic, community, and treatment settings. Readers will find sustenance through experiential writing invitations, theoretical and historical wisdom, and case study-based uses of aesthetic feedback, all ensconced in image, film, movement, enactment, and sound. A unique and powerful resource!”

The authors, Krystal Leah Demaine and Tamar Reva Einstein, are both dynamic leaders in the field of expressive arts. I had an opportunity to participate in one of their workshops at the International Expressive Arts Therapists Association at Endicott College, June 2025. This is a beautifully woven exploration of how writing and the expressive arts intersect to inspire self-discovery, healing, and growth. Each chapter offers writing invitations and resources for integrating writing into personal and professional practice. Expressive Therapeutic Writing supports me in my personal writing, and I use it in courses with my psychology graduate students. Highly recommended!

This book is an exemplary depiction of how writing influences individuals at various, significant points in their lives. Diving into how writing is more than what simply meets the eye, this book captured me as a reader because I was able to relate on a deeper level to the concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book inspired me to start writing again.
