In this paper, we explore the subjective experiences of a group intervention in creative writing (CW) for young adults being treated for psychosis.
A qualitative and exploratory design was applied. Five out of eight patients who were offered a course in CW with two-hour weekly sessions for 12 weeks took part in this study. The five participants who followed through were interviewed after project termination. Systematic text condensation was applied to the transcribed interviews.
The analysis revealed three overarching themes: a) the group was valued as a creative community, b) there was safety in the structured yet flexible framing of the course, c) the participants experienced creative freedom that enabled a feeling of mastery.
CW was well conceived. The feelings of connectedness and mastery were prominent. The participants experienced growth on several levels. Our findings support previous work on arts therapy as a means to recovery.
本文探讨了一组创意写作（CW）小组干预对接受精神病治疗的年轻成年人的主观体验。
采用定性和探索性设计。八名被提供 CW 课程的患者中有五名参加了为期 12 周、每周两小时的课程。这五名完成项目的参与者在项目结束后接受了采访。对转录的访谈进行了系统文本浓缩。
分析揭示了三个总体主题：a）小组作为创意社区受到重视，b）课程的结构化和灵活性为参与者提供了安全感，c）参与者体验到了创造性自由，从而产生了掌控感。
CW 的构思很好。联系感和掌控感非常突出。参与者在多个层面上都有了成长。我们的研究结果支持了艺术治疗作为康复手段的先前研究。
