Review:
I recommend Capacchione s books to people I work with who have a variety of problems. I think both drawing and writing encourage a fundamental need that we have for self-expression. There may be an added benefit to writing in that it translates experiences into languagewhich helps the person to resolve a trauma more quickly.

[Capacchione] not only helps to bring out the best, but helps to discover that there is a best that is worth bringing out.

"Beginning with The Creative Journal, Capacchione has been a powerful champion of the therapeutic potential of keeping one's own drawing journal.... In [her books] she discusses her personal journey and how journaling has facilitated her growth and development....
