Pennebaker's expressive writing paradigm has helped to introduce the benefits of writing to health care. However, research in expressive writing has been largely dominated by an experimental and quantitative approach that does not take into account critical methodologies and approaches in health psychology, the increasingly complex ways in which creative writing is now being used in health care settings or recent research in the broader field of creative writing and personal development, health and well-being (developmental creative writing). This article contrasts expressive writing theories and methodologies with those evolving in the relatively new field of developmental creative writing. It investigates a number of theoretical and methodological problems with the expressive writing model and argues for a more critical approach to future research.
彭尼贝克的表达性写作范式有助于将写作的益处引入医疗保健领域。然而，表达性写作的研究在很大程度上一直由实验性和定量方法主导，这些方法没有考虑到健康心理学中的关键方法和途径、创造性写作如今在医疗保健环境中越来越复杂的应用方式，或者创造性写作与个人发展、健康和幸福（发展性创造性写作）这一更广泛领域的最新研究。本文将表达性写作理论和方法与发展性创造性写作这一相对较新领域中不断发展的理论和方法进行了对比。它研究了表达性写作模型存在的一些理论和方法问题，并主张对未来的研究采取更具批判性的方法。
