Bibliotherapy
Bibliotherapy, also referred to as book therapy, reading therapy, poetry therapy, or therapeutic storytelling, is a creative arts therapy that involves the careful selection of the literature and the reading of specific written materials as therapeutic interventions to promote psychological healing and personal growth. This evidence-based practice leverages the therapeutic potential of the relationship between individuals and written language, including narrative fiction, poetry, memoirs, self-help literature, and other forms of written expression, to improve psychological well-being, manage mental health issues, and provide emotional support.
