2.

根据上文A client who is having trouble with a situation, for example, might write a letter to the people involved as part of therapy可知，例如，一个有问题的客户，可以写一封信给当事人，作为治疗的一部分；再根据下文Besides, it works on how to approach the people in real life to settle the issue.可知，此外，它致力于如何接近现实中的人们来解决问题。由此可知，上句应该是客户写信的作用。F. This writing can help him or her express goals and a desired result clearly. 这种写作可以帮助他或她清楚地表达目标和期望的结果。承上启下，故选F。

3.

根据上文In guided therapy, the therapist may review the writing and discuss it with the patient.可知，在指导治疗中，治疗师可能会回顾文章，并与患者讨论。由此推断下文应该是治疗师和患者之间的互动。E. Of course, patients can talk about the emotions that come up while writing. 当然，病人可以谈论在写作时出现的情绪。承接上文，故选E。

4.

上文Some people keep writing regular journals to share with their therapists and others. 可知，有些人坚持定期写日志，与他们的治疗师和其他人分享。G. Others may keep an online writing journal and only allow his or her therapist to read. 还有一些人可能在网上写日记，但只允许他或她的治疗师阅读。根据这两句Some people和Others的线索，选项G引起下文，故选G。

5.

根据最后一段中People may keep personal journals or diaries intended for their private use可知，人们可能会保留个人日志或为私人使用的日记；再根据Some add a self-directed group therapy aspect as well by sharing their writing with friends who can provide advice. 有些人加入了团体治疗，并与朋友分享作品，朋友们可以提供建议。由此可知文章最后一段讲的是人们写作的方法，B.
