Product Description
Drawing on their respective roles as a school library media specialist and a psychologist, these authors address the various definitions for and the expectations of bibliotherapy. They consider what skills and competencies determine a qualified bibliotherapist and explore how bibliotherapy can be used to match the nature and prevalance of the mental health needs of children and young adults. Extensive references to the professional literature and a sample programme that reflects the team-based planning process advocated by the authors conclude this valuable resource.
