The purpose of this study was to examine empirically the characteristics and therapeutic effects of Psychological Displacement Writing (PDW) (Jin, 2005) that instructs the participants to write the content of their diary entries from the perspective and in the order of the first-person, second-person, and finally third-person pronoun. Jin (2005) argues that in the first-person pronoun phase, the participants are inclined to self-disclose personal feelings; in the second-person pronoun, their writing consists more of an inner dialogue with an emergence of a supportive and yet critical pattern; and the third-person pronoun phase is generally characterized by objective and rational tones. One hundred participants wrote about their recent negative life experiences three times a week for six weeks. The results showed that contents written in the first-person pronoun had the most negative and least positive emotions and highest word count. The second-person pronoun received the highest scores on caring and criticism, and the third-person pronoun the highest scores on event understanding. Changes in positive and negative emotions were significantly predicted by the caring and criticism pattern that emerged in the process of writing. The PDW significantly promoted the participants’ satisfaction with life during the writing period. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
