DER: Adolescent-Literature; Childrens-Literature; Elementary-Secondary-Education
AB: The new realism of using books to offer solutions to problems or present solutions that could lessen a person's inner turmoil and break down attitudinal barriers to learning was coined "bibliotherapy" by G. O. Ireland in 1930. Each year the International Reading Association publishes an annotated collection of contemporary literature in its Teachers' Choices, Children's Choices, and Young Adults' Choices lists. Many of these books are related to bibliotherapy. Other resources for bibliotherapeutic literature are the Caldecott award-winning books and the Newbery award winners. There is a real need to show students that literature can help them resolve crises they face in constructive ways. Minimal professional development for using a bibliotherapeutic approach is required--collaboration with the librarian will ensure awareness of and sensitivity to literature that contains sexual abuse, strong language, or sex. Strategies that can be used successfully in the classroom are: (1) vocabulary pullout; (2) double entry journals; (3) sociograms; (4) graphic organizers; and (5) cause/effect relationships. (NKA)

AB: Treatment characteristics and methods were analyzed for 103 empirical studies of reading therapy, or bibliotherapy, from the United States and Canada conducted over the past two decades and retrieved from the PsychInfo database. A content analysis was performed on each study, and quantified data was reported and compared within and between two time groups, 1970-1983 and 1984-1996. Data for journal title, author gender and occupational field, treatment area, focus age group, literary genre, treatment method, and outcome measure were gathered for each study. Frequencies and percentages calculated and tabulated for each analyzed category revealed strong similarities across time groups for a number of like categories. It was found that individual factors of high frequency and percentage from categories in the first time group most often had high frequencies and percentages in comparable categories of the second time group. A few major differences were noted, though mostly for factors of low percentage within a given category. Across both groups, the number of male authors (researchers) exceeded females, and the highest percentage of authors worked in the field of psychology. Most research was conducted on adult subjects, and self-help literature was the most prescribed genre for all the studies analyzed. Treatment methods were found to be categorizable by the level of therapist/researcher involvement with subjects. These categories were the same across groups. Methods were statistically compared by their outcome measures. Chi square analysis revealed no greater chance of any one treatment method producing more significant outcomes than any other treatment method, for both time groups. The coding sheet is appended. Information is presented in nine tables.(Contains 25 references.) (Author/AEF)

The text covers everything from selecting materials (including an entire chapter devoted to bibliographic tools) and staffing to readers advisory, planning activities, and linking bibliotherapy with intervention programs. Extensive references to the professional literature are included in every chapter. In addition to tips and guidelines, the book includes cautionary notes for bibliotherapy leaders. A sample bibliotherapy program that reflects the team-based planning process and a guide to appropriate bibliographic tools conclude the work. (AEF)

AB: This ERIC digest focuses on students who are commonly described as shy (inhibited, lacking in confidence, socially anxious) or withdrawn (unresponsive, uncommunicative, or daydreaming). Symptoms of shyness or withdrawal may appear as part of the student's overall personality or as a situation-specific response to a particular stress factor. Strategies for coping with shy or withdrawn students include: (1) peer involvement (e.g., involving shy students in cross-age tutoring programs); (2) teacher interventions (e.g., changing the social environment or minimizing stress or embarrassment); and (3) other kinds of psychological interventions (e.g., encouraging children to join volunteer groups or recreational organizations outside of school). The following are specific teacher strategies for coping with shy and withdrawn students: (1) use interest inventories to determine their interests, then use these interests as bases for conversations or learning activities; (2) display their (good) artwork or assignments; (3) assign them as a partner to a classmate who is popular and engages in frequent contact with peers; (4) check with shy students frequently if they are prone to daydreaming; (5) help shy children to set social development goals and assist them by providing training in social skills; (6) provide them with information needed to develop social insight, suggesting ways for them to initiate productive peer contacts or to respond more effectively to peer initiations; (7) provide them with a designated role that will give them something to do and cause them to interact with others in social situations in which they might otherwise become shy and retreat to the fringes of the group; (8) teach them social "door openers" for greeting others and speaking to them in person or on the telephone; (9) make time to talk with them each day and listen carefully and respond specifically to what they tell you; and (10) use bibliotherapy materials.

AB: Addressing the effects of rapidly escalating divorce rates on children, this 86-item annotated bibliography looks at using bibliotherapy individually, in designated groups, or for whole classes as a means of providing support and growth for preadolescents. Topics and specific problems addressed by the entries in the annotated bibliography include: loyalty, conflict, guilt, embarrassment, fear of abandonment, anger, denial, somatic symptoms, depression, school and peer upsets, dealing with stepparent, blended families, and spousal hostility. Materials in the annotated bibliography are divided into three main sections: books for preadolescents; self-help books for parents and materials aimed at increasing their understanding and support of their children; and readings for teachers and counselors to help them become more aware of the needs, difficulties, and possible approaches to help meet the concerns of preadolescents.
