Some learning for youth services too here...
Although, it's also more interesting than that, as this paper excerpt (and the conclusion) reveals. By highlighting the limitations of current evaluation practices, there is hope for some de-medicalisation of public mental health discourse

Here I'm trying to make a case in favor of Bibliotherapy with an important caveat: big, complex life questions need good literature (like James Baldwin), not best-seller self-help "easy steps". #nonfiction #booksky #booktok
Book Rx #2 - Go Tell It on the Mountain - James Baldwin
A classic novel that serves as a masterclass to understand intergenerational trauma, and how the past of our families and countries are shaping who we are now

I believe in bibliotherapy. Often a good fantasy transports me to an another world to see mine with new eyes. But today, this book of essays, Almost Anything by @annelamott.bsky.social from my aunt's book collection rescued me from despair. My departed aunt's lifeline became mine. #booksky

Excerpt from Bibliotherapy in the Bronx:
In the same vein of self-humanizing, artist Cardi B is known for reminding fans that she’d rather not be placed on anyone’s pedestal: “I’m just a regular, degular, shmegular girl from the Bronx.”
Cardi has sociologists and scholars archiving her impact💜📚

As someone who has had a lot of migraines, I can tell you that there is a sliding scale of functionality that is attached to a life lived with pain. On some days, the pain is manageable or nearly missing, so you can do most things, even perform something as risky as driving a car... just not too far, or too fast.

This is an important part of the conversation that I think can be missed when we talk about bibliotherapy in library circles.
It *CAN* be great. That doesn't mean it is universally so, nor does it mean it is a substitute for everything else.
Don't let reading become like yoga, 'kay?
