Leedy pioneered poetry therapy

when i had to prepare a graduate school field study,Jack Leedy pointed the way with this,i think the earliest treatment of the subject of Poetry Therapy.This book fills the reader in on early applications,how the work was done and the many ways and populations to use poetry therapy.The Jack Leedy book was very helpful,still one of the most important works on this subject.ft
