ABSTRACT Different forms of reading and writing can have therapeutic effects and therefore beneficially are incorporated into mental health care. In Swedish mental health care such incorporation is not established but the field is gaining increased interest. In this study, five psychologists in Swedish mental health care who incorporate reading and writing in their clinical work were interviewed about how they incorporate such activities and how they perceive reading and writing in terms of patient recovery. An Interpretative Phenomenological analysis resulted in the following themes: New perspectives, The psychologists’ perceptions, Shared symbols, Freedom to express oneself, and Safety through structure. The results show a need for flexibility in clinical work; since unique individuals express themselves in different ways, practitioners should be encouraged to offer patients opportunities for creative expression. It is suggested that reading and writing need to be established as valid and easily identifiable interventions in Swedish mental health care.

摘要 不同形式的阅读和写作可以产生治疗效果，因此被有益地纳入心理健康护理。在瑞典精神卫生保健中，这种合并尚未建立，但该领域正在获得越来越多的兴趣。在这项研究中，五名瑞典精神卫生保健心理学家将阅读和写作纳入其临床工作，他们接受了采访，了解他们如何将此类活动纳入其中，以及他们如何看待阅读和写作对患者康复的影响。解释性现象学分析产生了以下主题：新观点、心理学家的看法、共享符号、表达自己的自由和通过结构的安全性。结果表明临床工作需要灵活性；因为独特的个体以不同的方式表达自己，应鼓励从业者为患者提供创造性表达的机会。建议将阅读和写作确立为瑞典精神卫生保健中有效且易于识别的干预措施。
