Auto Writing

Auto writing or automatic writing is performed by an individual not by his conscious efforts but by invoulantry action. The subject does not control the writing or the thought process involved. The writing resulting from auto writing need not be necessarily be legible or even intelligible. It can be anything ranging from scribbling to coherent words, sentences or even paragraphs. No one knows what exactly controls the output. The fact is that a specific result cannot be desired when it is desired, then it may no longer be classified under auto writing as it becomes voluntary writing.

It is some times used by psychiatrists with their patients to get the frustrations buried deep down in the subconscious.
