Bibliotherapy: A Review and Analysis of the Literature
- Ronald S. Lenkowsky, EdD
Bibliotherapy, the use of reading to
produce affective change and to promote personality growth and
development, is examined
through a comprehensive analysis of the literature.
A conceptual framework with which to review the available data is
suggested.
This framework looks at bibliotherapy in four ways:
as self-actualization therapy, a strategy for attitudinal change, a
method
for self-concept improvement, and an
instructional/didactic tool.
