"Bibliotherapy (the use of books to help people) is a technique that has proven valuable in helping individuals deal with a variety of difficult issues including death, divorce, illness and child abuse.  The term bibliotheraphy refers to using books in a way that they are 'theraputic in the sense that they can help children work through a crisis' (Pamela A. Kramer.  Using literature to enhance inclusion.  Contemporary Education.  Winter 1999).
