Although the treatment has evidence of effectiveness, evaluations of bibliotherapy have typically focused on outcomes, and the perspectives of both the client and the service provider have been understudied. In the present study, eleven users of a bibliotherapy scheme were interviewed regarding their experiences of bibliotherapy. In addition, fi ve referring practitioners to the scheme were also interviewed. Thematic analyses revealed three super-ordinate themes in the transcripts: participants’ personal experiences of the bibliotherapy scheme factors that facilitate change and the influence of the professionals involved. The implications of these findings for bibliotherapy schemes are considered.

Bibliotherapy can be defined as “the use of reading matter for therapeutic purposes in the treatment of nervous disorders” (O.E.D.) but the term can apply to a wider range of reading materials than this definition implies and is used to denote any form of directed reading which may serve a therapeutic purpose.
