Abstract

Bibliotherapy comes to connect the impossible with the possible. To give the subjects solutions that were not in their minds until that moment. The purpose of this study within the literature review is to highlight how a book works therapeutically for children under specific intervention conditions. More specifically, an attempt is made to capture the action potentials of the book in each subjectivity and in our case that of children. It appears that book therapy has positive effects on children who face various difficulties in their personal lives and it is striking how some literary heroes with whom children identify can show them ways to cope with various impasses.
