DeSalvo shows how anyone can use writing as a way to heal the emotional and physical wounds that are an inevitable part of life. Contrary to what most self-help books claim, just writing won't help you; in fact, there's abundant evidence that the wrong kind of writing can be damaging. <p/>DeSalvo's program is based on the best available and most recent scientific studies about the efficacy of using writing as a restorative tool. With insight and wit, she illuminates how writers, from Virginia Woolf to Henry Miller to Audre Lorde to Isabel Allende, have been transformed by the writing process. <i>Writing as a Way of Healing</i> includes valuable advice and practical techniques to guide and inspire both experienced and beginning writers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An exquisite gift of grace.
