What is the LIRIC Journal?
Established in 2020, the Lapidus International Research and Innovation Community (LIRIC) Journal provides an international, peer-reviewed and cross-disciplinary exploration of the field of writing for wellbeing/creative writing for therapeutic purposes (CWTP). As a scholarly publication, LIRIC has a wide readership across a variety of sectors—education, health, the arts—in community and voluntary as well as private settings.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between theory/research and practice. This may be therapeutic, artistic, or both. By celebrating innovative, creative, and practice-based approaches to research, LIRIC provides a space to promote and critically debate the relationship between the written/spoken word and health and wellbeing, as understood through diverse theoretical perspectives. LIRIC Journal is keen to enlist a broader constituency of practitioners, academics, and researchers across disciplines who are currently active and interested in this emerging area of study
