  5. Two Domains • Clinical Bibliotherapy is implemented by trained professionals dealing with significant emotional or behavioral problems. • Developmental Bibliotherapy may be used by teachers to facilitate normal development and self-actualization with an essentially healthy population

  6. Goals of Bibliotherapy (Pardeck, 1994) • To provide information about problems. • To provide insight into problems. • To stimulate discussion about problems. • To communicate new values and attitudes. • To create an awareness that others have dealt with similar problems. • To provide solutions to problems. • To increase empathy for and understanding of others.

Contemporary Issues • Social and emotional skills (Anderson, 2000) • Bereavement (Ayyash-Abdo, 2001) • Child abuse (McDaniel, 2001) • Parental separation/divorce (Pehrsson, Allen, Folger, McMillen, & Lowe, 2007) • Aggression (Shechtman, 2006) • Anxiety (Rapee, Abbott, & Lyneham, 2006) • Tolerance • “Fitting in” • Bullying • Ethnic and cultural identity

  8. Stages of Interaction (Afolayan, 1992) • Identification • Students must identify with characters or situations similar to what they are experiencing • Characters should be similar in age as the student, display similar behaviors, and face events which the student can identify (Sridhar & Vaughn, 2000). • Book choice is critical

  9. 2. Catharsis • If child is emotionally involved, they develop meaningful ties to the main character, and doing so the literature facilitates a release of pent-up emotions. • The child is encouraged to express these feelings under safe conditions. • Encourage guided-discussion, journaling, painting, drawing, and dramatization.

  10. 3. Insight “Realization that occurs when readers become aware that the problem they are experiencing, like that of characters in the story, need not remain static” (Sridhar & Vaughn, 2000, p.75). • Children begin to analyze the decisions and actions of the main characters. • Through this analysis, insights are gained into how the child might develop his or her own problem-solving techniques.
