Tóm tắt

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. The literature analysis reveals little systematic demonstration of the efficacy of bibliotherapy and cautions against special education utilization without controlled study. Until such research becomes available, the special educator should proceed slowly in use of this intervention. However, understanding of the principles, philosophy, and practices of bibliotherapy is seen as valuable for those personnel working with children who may profit from the exposure to reading materials directed to their specific problems.
