Abstract

This article explores both the theory and practice of bibliotherapy. The history of bibliotherapy is discussed with various definitions. The authors provide guidelines and examples for implementing bibliotherapy in the classroom for children with special needs. The benefits of using bibliotherapy include language enrichment, improved reading skills, self-confidence, thinking in another perspective, and empathy development. The appendix provides a listing of useful children's books, which are particularly useful for students with disabilities.
