Abstract | Epistolary therapy, the practice of letter writing for therapeutic purposes, offers significant benefits in medical contexts for both patients and healthcare providers. This article explores the historical roots of epistolary therapy and its modern integration into clinical practices. It delves into how letter writing aids patients in processing grief, managing chronic illnesses, and navigating emotional turmoil. Additionally, it examines the role of letter writing in reducing burnout and fostering empathy among doctors. Through detailed case studies, empirical evidence, and practical applications, the article highlights the transformative potential of epistolary therapy in enhancing emotional well-being and strengthening doctor-patient relationships. The challenges of patient compliance and maintaining privacy and confidentiality are also addressed, with recommendations for overcoming these barriers. Finally, the article calls for further research and policy changes to support the broader adoption of epistolary therapy in healthcare. |
