Bibliotherapy or Books on Prescription: Libraries, more important than ever!

Summary/Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the bibliotherapy process and discusses some of the basic implementation techniques. The paper emphasizes and explains the difference between institutional, clinical, and developmental bibliotherapy, giving a brief overview of the historical development of this discipline. This paper emphasizes also the importance of bibliotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lately, developmental bibliotherapy has been considered a novelty among the activities offered by libraries. Bibliotherapeutic workshops (group or individual) dealing with certain life issues are organized and conceptualized differently, depending on the age, interest, and problems of the participants.
