BIBLIOTHERAPY IN THE SOCIAL THERAPEUTIC PROCESS OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE – USING THE POTENTIA

Summary/Abstract: This article sets out to present possible application of bibliotherapy in the social therapeutic process. Bibliotherapy and social therapy share such elements as: education, correction of behavioural disorders, personality enhancement, and the prevention of social maladjustment. While analysing the goals of the aforementioned methods, a thesis has been proposed that they may be common for both. Bibliotherapy may serve as reinforcement of the social therapeutic process by enriching it and making it more enjoyable. Its goal is to build up the participants’ personal resources, supporting them in difficult situations, and providing a therapeutic impact. The article points out the key role that a literary text plays in the bibliotherapeutic process, and constitutes a starting point for bibliotherapeutic interactions. The article emphasises the potential of literature as a tool for the therapeutic and educational process, social rehabilitation and health improvement. Thus, social therapy may approach bibliotherapy as a way to enrich its educational and therapeutic offer.
