In this study, the type of bibliotherapy, which is a method used to address the problems of the clients during the psychotherapy interviews, is discussed. There are three stages of bibliotherapy method used in psychotherapy: identification with the character in reading material, experiencing catharsis and gaining insight. In practice, it is important for the clinical psychologist to choose a book in which the characters are close to the real life. Also, book should be appropriate for the reading level of the client and similar to the life experiences of him/her. Clinical psychologist should use bibliotherapy as a method rather than applying it to the whole process of the psychotherapy. In contrast to other review studies in the literature, this study presents a generalized anxiety disorder case example and use of bibliotherapy technique in the case’s psychotherapy process.},author={Ece BEKAROĞLU},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
