“…In fact, in this approach, the client is expected to put in significant effort to solve the problem (Cuijpers, Donker, Straten & Anderson, 2010). In contrast, affective bibliotherapy refers to the use of a text to stimulate repressed thoughts, feelings, and experiences (Suvilehto, 2019). The assumption is that connection with the character(s) in the literary text can lead to comparison and then separation.…”

Bibliotherapy represents the planned use of literary texts and devices to encourage awareness and processing of emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal problems in individuals with different types of psychosocial distress. As a part of expressive arts-therapies, it includes precisely formulated goals, basic stages, and methodology that are described in this paper. In addition, an overview of recent scientific research on this topic is provided in order to gain insights on the most commonly used approaches, methodologies, and outcomes obtained, as well as the effectiveness of bibliotherapy. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that the use of bibliotherapy is an appropriate complementary approach in educational settings, for children with special needs, as well as for maintaining mental health. Considering the limitations of bibliotherapy, we emphasise the need for further research with the aim of improving practical models and assessment tools. Bibliotherapy can be a promising part of a multimodal educational and rehabilitation approach that recognises the power of language arts, which simultaneously supports both realistic and transcendental aspects of human existence.

“…Nejvýstižněji lze pojmenovat podstatu biblioterapie za pomoci výčtu objektivních východisek, o která je možné se opřít: provedení procesem čtení, užívání textu k řešení osobního problému, rozvíjení dovedností a osobnostní růst; mělo by se jednat o dynamickou interakci mezi čtenářovou osobností a literaturou (AFOLAYAN 1992). Biblioterapii tedy definujme jako terapeutický přístup, který využívá literaturu k podpoře duševního zdraví (SUVILEHTO 2019). Snad můžeme jít ještě dál a prohlásit, že biblioterapie s literaturou pracuje tak, aby se vždy projevila možnost terapeutického působení literatury.…”

The following article presents several options of the use of bibliotherapy as a psychotherapeutic method in teaching literature at grammar schools. It is divided into three parts: the first one deals with the theoretical background and advantages of this method including didactic benefits, and describes methodology the authors use at school. The second part brings attention to potential dangers for teachers who decide to use bibliotherapy from the point of view of psychology. The third part looks into two issues which emerge when using bibliotherapy at school: the didactic method of teaching literature and literary canon. The study is followed by a bibliotherapeutic experiment which has been already realised at school.

“…Creative bibliotherapy could be an efficient and effective tool in a school’s arsenal to promote mental health and wellbeing. Suvilehto [ 5 ] argues that many teachers already practice bibliotherapy in some manner, without giving their practice a formal name. This systematic review will assess the range and quality of evidence for the effectiveness of creative bibliotherapy in school settings.…”

Background There is a need to identify evidence-based interventions to be delivered in schools that can be used to improve child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing. Creative bibliotherapy is one proposed intervention. However, there has been, to date, no comprehensive assessment of the evidence for its impact on mental health and wellbeing. To fill this gap, we will conduct a systematic review and realist synthesis. Methods A systematic search of the bibliographic databases APA PsycINFO, Medline (via Ovid), CINAHL, ERIC, Education Research Complete (via EBSCOhost) and Web of Science (SCI, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI) for school-based creative bibliotherapy interventions on child and adolescent mental health. Types of study to be included: cohort studies, non-randomised comparative evaluations, randomised controlled trials. The data from all included studies will be summarised descriptively and strength of evidence appraised. This is a potentially large field of practice, with heterogeneous interventions; we will use methods from intervention components analysis to describe and categorise the range of components and approaches used in included interventions. To understand how interventions work and in which contexts, we will use methods from realist synthesis to develop an exploratory account of mechanisms in different settings and for different young people (contexts). Discussion Findings will assess the range of evidence for the impact of creative bibliotherapy on child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing, the strength of evidence for the impact identified, and describe potential mechanisms. This review will be useful for a wide range of stakeholders considering implementing or developing interventions using creative bibliotherapy in school-based settings. Systematic review registration This protocol was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/), registration number CRD42023410333. This review is funded by Wellcome Trust (221457/Z/20/Z).
