Discover the magic that happens when books meet the therapeutic power of play.
Bibliotherapy—the use of stories to help clients explore their experiences—is an engaging treatment approach that facilitates self-awareness, fosters emotional wellness, and allows clients to gain new perspectives. When kids can identify with a character outside themselves, it provides a safe psychological distance from their problem, creating more room for growth and learning.
In The Bibliotherapy Toolbox, you’ll find a variety of kid-friendly interventions that combine the power of books with the principles of play therapy—bringing the metaphors, symbolism, and lessons of each story to life in a therapeutically meaningful way.
Featuring over 100 story-based, step-by-step interventions you can use right away, The Bibliotherapy Toolbox addresses a wide range of therapeutic topics, including:
Anger and other big emotions
Resilience and self-esteem
Anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and OCD
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Neurodiversity, ADHD, and autism
Trauma and attachment
Grief and loss
Adoption, foster care, and kinship care
Separation, divorce, and sibling rivalry
Bullying, boundaries, and kindness
Whether you’re looking to build rapport, explore a client’s worldview, process traumatic stress, or build crucial skills, The Bibliotherapy Toolbox has what you need!
