Biblioterapia jako metoda radzenia sobie ze stresem

Bibliotherapy is an expressive therapy that uses an individual’s relation to thecontent of books, poetry and other forms of writing, for therapeutic purposes. At itsmost basic, bibliotherapy consists in selecting the reading material for the patient (client),which is related to that person’s life situation. The idea of bibliotherapy seems tohave grown naturally from the human inclination to identify with others by means ofexpressing themselves through literature and art. Identification with the written text andthe ability to look inside themselves may help the patients in changing their lives andsolving their problems. Bibliotherapy, however, does not have to consist solely of reading,but it can be complemented with a discussion or play activity.
