Abstract
Bibliotherapy, or book therapy, involves the
systematic use of books to help people cope
with their mental, physical, emotional, develop mental or social problems. The etymology of
the term bibliotherapy (biblio- is the Greek word
for books and, therapy comes from therapeia,
meaning to help medically) aligns bibliotherapy
together with some other similar practices, such
as art therapy, dance therapy, music therapy,
play therapy, etc.
