What the heck does bibliotherapy mean?

It’s a really fancy term for using stories to help clients heal.

Most play therapists incorporate some version of bibliotherapy in the play therapy process.

To be honest, I’ve used bibliotherapy with adolescents and adults to help them heal.

I use it ALL the time in family play therapy sessions.

Are there ways to use bibliotherapy to get the most benefit for your clients?

That’s what my guest, Tammi Van Hollander, is going to share with us.

She’s written a new book about strategies for using bibliotherapy in play therapy.

My guest, Tammi Van Hollander, and I will discuss what bibliotherapy is and how you can use it in play therapy to help your clients heal.

Check out Tammi’s new book on Amazon, PESI website, or Tammi’s website: The Bibliotherapy Toolbox: 100+ Creative and Playful Story-Based Interventions to Help Kids Create Safety, Overcome Challenges, and Build Resiliency
