12Bibliotherapy
Bibliotherapy is the use of literature to help people
with mental, psychological, emotional, and social
challenges. Early forms of Bibliotherapy have been
used in psychiatric hospitals across America and
Europe, and by the end of World War 1, many
of the veteran hospitals were apply-
ing Bibliotherapy to treat emotional trauma among
veterans (“Brief history of Bibliotherapy” n.d, Para. 4).
There are three types of Bibliotherapy :
Self-Help Bibliotherapy, Books on Prescription, and
Creative Bibliotherapy (McLaine,2012, Para 4). Poetry
and prose is used in creative bibliotherapy. It is
believed that making a connection with a special
story helps people create better connections with their
personal and emotional life (McLaine, 2012, Para.
7). There also have been several studies that show
that Bibliotherapy has positive outcomes on
wellbeing (McLaine, 2012, para. 3).
Each week, a short story and poetry will be read aloud
for a small group of participants for 1 to 1.5 hours,
followed by a discussion period based on the material.
They can feel free to share their thoughts, or may just
listen (McLaine, 2012, Para. 21, 22).
Meanwhile, for the groups with participants that live
with various stages of dementia, there will be a
version of the program that is shorter and there will
be a facilitator there to assist participants (McLaine,
2012, Para. 24). It has been noted that enjoying texts
and poetry can help with symptoms such as short
term memory loss, drowsiness resulting from
medication, and concentration. Based on the
evaluations in care facilities, reading aloud for
dementia patients can have positive effect on their
wellbeing (McLaine, 2012, Para. 27).
If you enjoy reading, and a good discussion, consider
joining our Book Club this Winter session.
