In 1959 M. L. Rosenthal first used the term "confessional" in a review of Robert Lowell's Life Studies entitled "Poetry as Confession". [6] Rosenthal differentiated the confessional approach from other modes of lyric poetry by way of its use of confidences that (Rosenthal said) went "beyond customary bounds of reticence or personal embarrassment".

Confession of Love by Jean-Honoré Fragonard depicts a subject confessing feelings that had been concealed up to that point.. A confession is a statement – made by a person or by a group of people – acknowledging some personal fact that the person (or the group) would ostensibly prefer to keep hidden.
Confession is also seen as a "second baptism", and is sometimes referred to as the "baptism of tears". In Orthodoxy, Confession is seen as a means to procure better spiritual health and purity. Confession does not involve merely stating the sinful things the person does; the good things a person does or is considering doing are also discussed.
Confessional writing is often non-fictive and delivered in direct, first-person narration. Confessional writing usually involves the divulging and discussion of 'shameful matters', [25] including personal secrets and controversial perspectives in forms such as autobiography, diary, memoir, and also epistolary narratives.
There are also instances where the name was attached to the spot, whether cell or seat, where noted saints had a habit of hearing confessions. For example, the confessional of Church of St. Trophime at Arles. In the popular Reformed view, confessional boxes are associated with the scandals, real or supposed, of the practice of auricular confession.
