Book Synopsis Reading as Therapy by : Timothy Aubry
Download or read book Reading as Therapy written by Timothy Aubry and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do Americans read contemporary fiction? This question seems simple, but is it? Do Americans read for the purpose of aesthetic appreciation? To satisfy their own insatiable intellectual curiosities? While other forms of media have come to monopolize consumers’ leisure time, in the past two decades book clubs have proliferated, Amazon has sponsored thriving online discussions, Oprah Winfrey has inspired millions of viewers to read both contemporary works and classics, and novels have retained their devoted following within middlebrow communities. In Reading as Therapy, Timothy Aubry argues that contemporary fiction serves primarily as a therapeutic tool for lonely, dissatisfied middle-class American readers, one that validates their own private dysfunctions while supporting elusive communities of strangers unified by shared feelings. Aubry persuasively makes the case that contemporary literature’s persistent appeal depends upon its capacity to perform a therapeutic function. Aubry traces the growth and proliferation of psychological concepts focused on the subjective interior within mainstream, middle-class society and the impact this has had on contemporary fiction. The prevailing tendency among academic critics has been to decry the personal emphasis of contemporary fiction as complicit with the rise of a narcissistic culture, the ascendency of liberal individualism, and the breakdown of public life. Reading as Therapy, by contrast, underscores the varied ideological effects that therapeutic culture can foster. To uncover the many unpredictable ways in which contemporary literature answers the psychological needs of its readers, Aubry considers several different venues of reader-response—including Oprah’s Book Club and Amazon customer reviews—the promotional strategies of publishing houses, and a variety of contemporary texts, ranging from Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner to Anita Shreve’s The Pilot’s Wife to David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. He concludes that, in the face of an atomistic social landscape, contemporary fiction gives readers a therapeutic vocabulary that both reinforces the private sphere and creates surprising forms of sympathy and solidarity among strangers.

Book Synopsis Welcome to Therapy by : Cheryll Putt
Download or read book Welcome to Therapy written by Cheryll Putt and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome To Therapy is a perfect book to read to children who are beginning in therapy. Often children do not know what to expect when they enter the therapist's office and feel fearful to see "the doctor." However, for children, therapy can be a fun and rewarding experience, particularly when they are working with a play therapist. Children communicate and learn through play and cannot sit and talk the way adults do in a therapist's office. When they are allowed to express themselves using the play therapist's tools, they are often able to find more resolution and not have to worry about saying or doing the wrong thing. Welcome To Therapy explains in very simple and clear words the sometimes confusing and complicated process of child therapy and its benefits. It is warmly written, a must have tool for clinicians who work with young and latency aged children. - Virginia Agcayab, MFT, therapist and site coordinator, Chadwick Center Children's Hospital, San Diego Knowing that there is a book of this subject, takes the pressure off of me having to explain what it is all about in case either one of my boys has to enter therapy. The book's wording and illustrations are very soothing to a child who might be going into therapy. I enjoyed reading it very much. - Maribel Valles, mother of Michael (9) and Mathew (4) A wonderfully written children's book that not only prepares children for the therapy experience, but also engages them in a rhyme pattern that will add to the delight of the lesson. - Eileen Carole, editor of Pisces Publishing and director of The Writers' Corner
