Throughout history, dating back to ancient times, the concept of growth through reading is evident from various writings. Although the value of books had long been recognized,the underlying concept of Bibliotherapy was not formally identified until the twentieth century.
Among the first professional people in America to set the tone for Bibliotherapy were two physicians, Benjamin Rush in 1815 and John Minson Gait II in 1853. They recommended reading as part of a patient’s treatment plan. In 1904,it became recognized as an aspect of librarian ship, and the first partnership between librarian-ship and psychiatry began at the McLean Hospital in Waverly, Massachusetts. Other professionals, such as educators and psychologists, became interested in the subject.
During the next several decades numerous articles were published on Bibliotherapy. Although much of the writing indicated uncertainty and speculation about the new concept, a definite trend toward expansion was obvious.The exploration of new approaches was investigated, with practical applications outrunning theoretical projections. It was not until 1949 that a comprehensive attempt was made to formulate a theoretical base for Bibliotherapy (Shrodes, 1949).
Several decades have passed since Bibliotherapy became recognized as a therapeutic technique, and it continues to be applied for various purposes. However, it still remains largely unexplored, and not all is known about its application and effects.

LAUGH AND SMILE TO CHANGE YOUR MOOD
Thanks for following Cafe Legacy. This is interesting; I’ll have to look into bibliotherapy more. My partner suffers from mental health disorders possibly from a childhood incident(s), so I’ve had the opportunity to try and understand mental health. I’ve worked with several people who suffer from neural diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s who’s doctors have reported significant improvements after we work on writing their memoirs. I haven’t found too much on the subject, but again, interesting. Best wishes.
