“…Using fictional material, bibliotherapy supports the reader to relate to and vicariously experience the protagonist's situation and problem before considering solutions and alternate behaviors they could apply to their own situation, thereby gaining greater understanding of themselves and improving their own mental health (Gavigan & Kurtts, 2011). Bibliotherapy in schools has been used by classroom teachers, teacher librarians and school counsellors (Camp, 2015).…”

“…Bibliotherapy in schools has been seen as effective when run by welfare teams such as school librarians, welfare coordinators and school nurses (Harvey, 2010). However, there are some barriers to success, including level of literacy and emotional readiness (McCulliss & Chamberlain, 2013); time constraints on students to read texts other than school materials (Harvey, 2010); or fear of negative responses from parents, colleagues, and administrators (Camp, 2015). Researchers therefore continue to explore ways in which adolescent mental health and wellbeing can be improved in the school environment in school libraries (Kirkland, 2022;Raffaele, 2021;Wallace, 2020) and in the classroom (Hendrickson, 2018;McPherson-Leitz, 2018;Zepeda, 2020).…”

The school environment can be challenging for young people experiencing mental health concerns to express their individuality and feel accepted. There has been an increased focus on wellbeing in school-aged children, with programs targeted to building resilience and promoting inclusion. However, peer stigmatization lowers personal wellbeing by limiting social belongingness in young people with mental health concerns and this is often exacerbated by poor mental health literacy. This paper is based on a doctoral study that used a grounded theory methodology to explore adolescent responses to a novel featuring mental health concerns as a class text. This research showed that students prefer contemporary young adult novels in the English classroom to support mental health literacy due to its contemporaneity and relatability. This paper links these benefits with the role of teacher librarians in recommending young adult literature featuring mental health concerns for use in the English curriculum.

The goal of bibliotherapy is to use a book to help the reader understand and overcome the difficulties he or she is facing. It can be applied in different contexts. If it is applied in a school environment, we are talking about developmental bibliotherapy. The aim of this paper is to describe the basic stages of developmental bibliotherapy, to present the results of research that indicate the effectiveness of its application, as well as the results of research that refer to the inclination of teachers and associates to opt for this technique. Given that this technique is considered to be a simple, cost-effective, and efficient intervention, and that some teachers and associates do not venture to apply it because they lack the necessary knowledge and skills, the inclusion of bibliotherapy in college training programs could contribute to the increased readiness of professionals to use it in order to help children face challenges in a developmentally appropriate manner.

“…Guided reading of suitable books with guided discussion through the process of bibliotherapy, if combined with parental support in reading, could be effective in reducing aliteracy among the high school students. Camp (2015) asserted that each adolescent is unique with divergent problems such as background, poverty, and relationships which have the tendency to affect their attitude to reading; but, if bibliotherapy is carried out with parental support, aliteracy could be reduced among high school students. According to Smiedt (2015), while bibliotherapy has the tendency to improve high school students' self-confidence and offer a mirror for reflection and room for thoughtful expression, parents have a substantial role to play in the development and sustenance of the right attitude to reading.…”

Aliteracy, the lack of interest in reading by capable readers had been observed to be prevalent among high school students and this has been a source of concern for education stakeholders. This study examined the remedial influence of bibliotherapy in reducing aliteracy among high school students in Ilesa, southwest Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to discuss the prevalence of aliteracy and examine the importance of reading among the high school students as well as describe the remedial impact of bibliotherapy in combating aliteracy among the high school students. All the 18 participants who identified as aliterates were exposed to Focus Group Discussion (FGD) which involved bibliotherapy. Content analysis was employed to analyse the responses of the participants to self-designed questions after the bibliotherapy sessions. The participants affirmed that exposure to bibliotherapy sessions helped in reducing aliteracy irrespective of their gender and that they needed the support of their parents to sustain an appropriate attitude to reading. Therefore, school librarians with the knowledge of bibliotherapy could be of help in reducing aliteracy among the high school students.
