Synopsis

The power of books for life enhancement is a widespread factor in human cultures. The use of literature for its therapeutic effect is instinctive in poets, dramatists, and novelists. Bibliotherapy as the more precisely directed reading to assist in the resolution of specific human ills, is a more recently emerging use of literature. This volume is an important addition to a series of publications that aim at giving form to the practice and a substantial theoretical base to the field.
