Psychotic people generally have difficulty organizing their thoughts and expressing their internal worlds. Moreover, the therapists needed a different and creative way to create relationships and to have insights about the participants. We created a theme group that used the verbal-affective metaphoric instrument of literature. The use of literature leads to the dissipation of fear and suspicion and gradual familiarity in the relationship, and also to a strong therapeutic process and to the creation of a change. Additionally, the therapists were able to understand in a different perspective, the participants and their experience, but at the same time to be an observer from the side. The use of this instrument in therapy facilitated, the creation of a relationship, the ability to share insights and the beginning of a recovery process in a better and customized way.","PeriodicalId":16967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Poetry Therapy","volume":"36 1","pages":"160 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48121691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study, based on the earlier literature and public perception, assumed an increase in the sexually assertive content in the trending songs because of modernization. The study analyzed the content of 150 popular songs of English, Urdu, and Punjabi from 1970 to 2019 and revealed that the aforesaid assumption was quite valid until 2009. The study found a gradual increase in the frequency of sexually assertive content in English, Urdu, and Punjabi songs from 1970 to 2009. A strange shift in this trend was however observed from 2010 to 2019 whereby the frequency of sexually assertive content decreased. As the existing literature is silent in this regard, the current study opened a new gate of curiosity by sensitizing the researchers to explore the reasons of this decrease further.","PeriodicalId":16967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Poetry Therapy","volume":"35 1","pages":"219 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44787434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, they provide an invaluable tool for considering the therapeutic value of poetry in the literature classroom, and, potentially, for application in the clinical setting. Musgraves’ lyrics reflect universal experience and emotion, use clear language, and offer hope while dealing realistically with suffering. Several of her songs written in second person specifically follow a model similar to that of CBT. These songs help the listener to identify and reflect on the cognitive distortions behind anxiety and depression. They use metaphors to help listeners achieve greater awareness of mental processes and emotional states. Finally, they correct cognitive distortions and provide alternate metaphors that encourage more adaptive thinking and actions.","PeriodicalId":16967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Poetry Therapy","volume":"35 1","pages":"231 - 240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46379348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
