Abstract

Erica Pass (2012) presents the case of Grace in which she assimilated Expressive Writing within  an Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy approach to the treatment of a young woman reacting to a simple adult traumatic experience. Although the treatment might have been improved by more attention to the patient's angry feelings and cultural background, it was both creative and successful. The treatment provided a good example of the functioning of a Local Clinical Scientist.
