Charleston massacre and other massacres seem to indicate increasing aggression among adolescences. In this regard, i just found a bopok by Zipora Schechtman on treating aggression with bibliotherapy.
Can bibliotherapy be useful for reducing adolescent aggression? What do you think? Your comments are welcome.
I think so. Very often the adolescents live in a "virtual world" (perhaps due also to technology - social network, etc.) and get lost the sense of the real life. I think that many issues should be treated with caution, such as the issue of immigration, the power of money, and other social issues. In this way, adolescents may capture the wrong messages.
Christiato; I think so. I'm familiar with Choice Theory and Reality Therapy. Bibliotherapy usually can be used client self reflection.
This appears to be an an evidence-based issue. Based on learning theory, in psychotherapy we consider the perceptual style of our clients in selecting treatment methods. Some will benefit from a more visual approach, others are more visceral or tactile, and others more auditory or cognitive. For those we prescribe bibliotherapy, whether virtual or analog, we need to determine whether they typically learn well that way and more fundamentally, whether they can activate sufficiently to engage with this method.
Agreed with Patterson, but must refer to counseling or psychology theoretical background.
Timothy D. Wilson has written a nice little book "Redirect, Changing the Stories We Live By" which deals with the use of bibliography and other interventions geared toward story-editing in adolescence.
