Summary

This study explores the efficacy of therapeutic photography and expressive writing as interventions in routine practice for patients with Marfan syndrome.

Conditions

  • Marfan Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Therapeutic photography and expressive writing

Therapeutic photography, unlike phototherapy, consists of a set of photography-based activities that are initiated independently as part of an organised group or project, but in which no formal therapy is taking place within a psychotherapeutic setting. This approach, too, can be used as a routine practice in treatment pathways. The subject deepens his or her self-awareness to improve the sense of being: images become a way to express oneself, to communicate what one is unable to verbalize. Therapeutic photography can be done independently and individually, or in the presence of other professionals (nurses, sociologists, teachers, facilitators, psychologists) who accompany the individual to the understanding and production of the activity.

BEHAVIORAL

Expressive writing

Expressive writing is a technique that helps to understand and manage one's experiences and emotional tensions, contributes to mental and physical well-being, decreased stress, improved relationships, and the strengthening of the immune system.
