The basic premise of bibliotherapy is that information, guidance,
wellbeing and solace can be found through reading. This book draws
on the latest international practical and theoretical developments
in bibliotherapy to explore how librarians, healthcare providers
and arts organizations can best support the health and wellbeing of
their communities. There is no standard approach to bibliotherapy.
This book considers how different theories apply to different types
of bibliotherapy, using case studies to illustrate how particular
approaches can be used across a broad range of settings and with a
variety of user groups. By focusing on the theoretical basis and
history of bibliotherapy, as well as current practice, it helps to
identify areas in which bibliotherapy could grow as a field of
study and of practice. Bibliotherapy programmes using books to
support good mental health are found around the world. The editors
and their contributors present examples from public libraries,
academic libraries and healthcare settings internationally –
including the UK, North and South America, and Australasia.
Collaboration and diversity are key themes: engaging in
bibliotherapy offers librarians key opportunities to collaborate
with partners outside the profession, while engaging with more
diverse audiences. The book will be of interest not only to
researchers and theorists, but equally to those managing
bibliotherapy programmes in health, public and academic libraries.
It will also be very useful for healthcare providers and those with
an interest in wellbeing more generally.
