Abstract
Bibliotherapy, originally coined by Samuel Crothers in 1916, is defined at its most simplistic as the use of books as healing tools (Betzalel and Schechtman, 2010). This intervention has been used to treat metal illness, provide interventions for war veterans, address emotional needs of counseling clients, and to teach social skills to children and adolescents (McCarty and Slygh, 2004). The proposed poster features highlights from a comprehensive literature review, therapeutic uses and tips for incorporating this intervention into your therapeutic toolbox.
