Background: This article aims to explain the effect of the use of writing,
in an institutional therapeutic space, as a means to achieve the therapeutic
change in the patient and a greater effi ciency in time and in institutional
spaces.
Methods: Different forms of using the written document are shown and
supported theoretically in the context of narrative and collaborative therapy,
as well as examples with the presentation of excerpts of writings
of the participants. The sample was composed of patients attending the
Hospital de Psiquiatría, Unidad Morelos, to receive treatment in any of
the forms (commital and/or outpatient consultation).
Results: Written and oral language exchange meaning continuously,
showing that the therapeutic process takes place beyond institutional
and therapeutic spaces (and times). This encourages the advantages
offered by the use of written language in oral psychotherapeutic processes.
Conclusion: Writing is an intellectual resource which facilitates thinking,
since when we write our own experiences the events that constitutes
them are organized in time. This produces a perception of change, a representation
of meanings, and stimulates self-effi ciency, since it produces
several stories of the events and experiences.
