Objectives
The original purpose of this study was to answer the main research question:
How can a bibliotherapy programme be developed and effectively implemented in a Dublin public library environment?
This main question fed into a number of areas including:
How are bibliotherapy programmes currently being conducted in
Dublin’s public library services?
What role do partnerships with health professionals play in bibliotherapy programmes in public libraries?
How do these programmes impact upon the role of staff in the libraries?
What, if any, are the barriers to bibliotherapy programmes currently in
existence in Dublin’s public libraries?
What are the differences between a bibliotherapy programme in a
public library and a similar programme in a health
library?

Furthest by Suzette Haden Elgin

Quote:
No matter how inconenient or unpleasant an illusion may be, if a man has chosen it himself and held it long enough, if he has built it up in sufficient detail and become accustomed to taking it into account upon every occasion, it will become precious to him and he will fight to maintain it in preference to even a pleasant truth. This is because it will have become one of the anchoring points of his mind, like the points which anchor the web of a spider, and to displace it will cause a shift in equilibrium for which painful compensation must be made. This is only a form of self-defense; nonetheless it inhibits growth.
