abstract="1. Written therapeutic communication with clients can have a lasting impact by enhancing themes of a therapy session, commenting on strengths, and highlighting changes. 2. Therapeutic letters can be used to validate the sexual abuse survivor's experience, offer commendation, provide information, normalize day-to-day living, encourage reflection, and seek clarification. 3. The use of therapeutic letters is consistent with a family systems nursing approach to practice, in which the nurse focuses on strengths and resources, interactions, and reciprocity during contact with the patient.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
