It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of depression. These results have been shown to be long-lasting. Sister Arleen McCarty Hynes pioneered the use of bibliotherapy at St. Elizabeths Hospital by engaging patients in literature as a process of healing and personal growth. Sister Arleen created the first comprehensive hospital-based training for bibliotherapy and co-wrote with her daughter Mary Hynes-Berry the authoritative book "Bibliotherapy: The Interactive Process: A Handbook" in 1986. She joined the Sisters of St. Benedict in 1981, after 10 years at St. Elizabeths in the District. Hired in 1971 as a patients' librarian at the country's only federal mental hospital, Sister Arleen expanded the library services offered there. She introduced a movie and a lecture series, provided a place where patients could listen to music and lent artwork for display in patients' rooms. She began exploring more deeply her interest in books as therapy. Sister Arleen became a prime force in establishing the National Association for Poetry Therapy, a leading creative arts therapy professional organization, and she hired the first bibliotherapist at St. Elizabeths.
