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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Books in Clinical Social Work Practice: A Guide to Bibliotherapy introduces clinical social workers and other helping professionals to bibliotherapy, an innovative approach to helping individuals deal with psychological, social, and developmental problems. Literally meaning “treatment through books,” bibliotherapy actively involves the client in the therapeutic process through the reading of carefully selected and evaluated books. With this guide, the therapy you give will provide information and insight, stimulate discussion, communicate new values and attitudes, create awareness that others have similar problems, and provide solutions to problems. Using Books in Clinical Social Work Practice offers a detailed approach for helping clinicians use bibliotherapy in practice. You’ll discover which types of problems best respond to bibliotherapy and you’ll learn how to select the most effective books to treat those problems. You’ll even find the structure of the book helpful, as it: introduces you to the basics of bibliotherapy provides a detailed examination of the techniques for using books in treatment reviews and analyzes the extensive research that has been conducted on bibliotherapy focuses on the problems most effectively treated with bibliotherapy--divorce and remarriage, dysfunctional families, parenting, adoption and foster care, self-development, serious illness, substance abuse offers an authoritative guide to over 300 books found to work most effectively--including summaries and levels of interest presents conclusions and a summary for the use of books in treatment Although bibliotherapy is a well-established practice technique in other professions, including psychiatry and psychology, social work practitioners have not traditionally used bibliotherapy as part of their practice. Using Books in Clinical Social Work Practice gives today’s helping professional an approach to problem solving that you and your clients will find refreshing and effective.

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

Book excerpt: Because women read books differently than guys do... Every woman knows ... books are more than a way to kill time on the bus — they're therapy that fits in our bag. Whether we're wallowing in a sullen perennial adolescence or our biological clock is ringing and we can't find the snooze button, books are the dog-eared friends that help us deal with our baggage as we navigate life's journey. Now Bibliotherapy prescribes the best of classic and contemporary Chick Lit that women turn to again and again — for inspiration (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) ... for escape (Ladder of Years) ... for revenge against the patriarchy (Our Blood) ... and for bonding with our girlfriends (Waiting to Exhale). Upper-thigh spread sparking a midlife crisis? Read A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains and remember that it's not over until the fat lady yodels. Did your pot of gold turn out to be fourteen-karat tin? Open your eyes with Awakening to the Sacred and learn to savor your rainbow. Wondering what all the fuss is about? Climb into bed with Lady Chatterley's Lover and explore your pleasure potential. With provocative points to ponder as you read ("What is the metaphorical significance of a codpiece?"), fun quotes, and a list of books that must not be read but, in Dorothy Parker's words, "thrown with great force," Bibliotherapy ensures you'll always find the right literary prescription — no matter what phase of life you're teetering on the brink of! Plus: Doomed but Inspired Heroes ... Books to Read When You're Sick of Your Career and Are Seriously Considering Taking Up Alpaca Ranching in Peru ... Bad Girls We'd Like to Have Over for Girls' Night ... Books That Are the Equivalent of Citronella for Men ... and much more! From the Trade Paperback edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst the mountain of self-help books, how do we know which ones are right for us? Bibliotherapy can show us! Reading to Heal is the first non-academic book on the topic of bibliotherapy. It is an accessible, useful and engaging resource that informs readers how to choose and use self-help books to deal with their personal issues. The book also gives guidance on how to read fiction and analyze characters and situations as they may relate to our own lives. Divided into two parts, each provides invaluable information for the self-help reader. Part I contains an historical overview and explanation of what bibliotherapy is and how it is useful. This section includes case studies, suggestions and exercises to illustrate how readers can get the most out of the material they read. Part II is arranged in categories -- from parenting to divorce to relationships -- that provide "bookscriptions" for people seeking advice, guidance and inspiration for each particular subject. These bookscriptions show the readers what to look for in a book and how to utilize the information it contains. For the fiction lover, Reading to Heal shows how to analyze the resources of fictional situations to better understand conflict management. Stanley provides case histories and examples of how to apply bibliotherapy to real-life situations, and includes recommendations and questions to stimulate discussion within groups and for self-exploration. A recommended reading list is included at the end of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development in recent years of the intersections between the family and literary study continues to emerge as one of the most productive and illuminating arenas of contemporary critique. In addition to addressing the family dynamic through which a given literary character develops a fully realized sense of self, family systems therapy allows readers to examine the patterns by which characters function in their larger intimate systems, whether those systems be social, institutional, or even global. As the intellectual foundation for the forms of therapy practiced by the majority of contemporary American and European psychotherapists, the study of family systems theory and its intersections with literary works affords readers with an illuminating glimpse into the terminology and processes involved in this dynamic form of critique. Perhaps most significantly, family systems therapy allows critics to consider the distinctly social interactions that characterise our pathways to interpersonal development and selfhood. John V. Knapp is Professor of English, with a joint appointment in modern literature and in teacher education, at Northern Illinois University. Kenneth Womack is Assist
