This dissertation explores questions about how writing about life, loss, and experience leads to growth in students as both writers and thinkers. Through a qualitative teacher research study, Hodges Hamilton examines how a writing pedagogy focused on the interface between writing and psychology influences students' growth as writers, critical thinkers, and active participants in their communities. As a result of this study, Hodges Hamilton proposes a writing and healing pedagogical framework which seeks to bridge the divide between pedagogical approaches that separate personal and academic writing. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Summer Semester, 2005. / April 28, 2005. / Writing And Psychology, Writing And Healing, First-Year Writing, Composition Pedagogy / Includes bibliographical references. / Wendy Bishop, Professor Directing Dissertation; Deborah Coxwell Teague, Professor Directing Dissertation; Nicholas Mazza, Outside Committee Member; Lad Tobin, Outside Committee Member; Bruce Bickley, Committee Member; Anne Rowe, Committee Member.
