Empirical research in bibliotherapy has occurred without theoretical foundation. An attempt to provide such foundation, this work is a phenomenological study of the experience of therapeutic reading.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Bibliotherapy is the therapeutic use of literature with therapist guidance or intervention. Therapeutic reading is an interaction between the reader and reading material. Empirical research in bibliotherapy has occurred without theoretical foundation. An attempt to provide such foundation, this work is a phenomenological study of the experience of therapeutic reading.
520 $a Data were collected through intensive interviews with eight adults who had the experience of reading that helped them in difficult life situations. Data were analyzed using the Colaizzi (1978) method. Techniques to meet criteria for rigor were audit, negative case analysis, peer debriefing, member check, triangulation, thick description and analytic memos. Participation was voluntary, with informed consent and no ill effects. Anonymity was maintained.
520 $a Results were divided into the Experience of Therapeutic Reading and the Characteristics. The Experience of Therapeutic Reading was a process of Recognition of Self evolving into Ways of Knowing and Ways of Feeling. Through Recognition of Self in implied or explicit literary characters, readers experienced Catharsis, Shared Experience, Validation, Inspiration, Hope, and Comfort. These were Ways of Feeling. Recognition of Self also led to Ways of Knowing. These were Gathering Information and Understanding. Through Recognition of Self readers gained Information that they used to improve their lives and for help negotiating with bureaucratic systems. They gained Understanding of themselves, their situations, and significant others.
520 $a The Characteristics of Therapeutic Reading were Intentional, Relational and Transporting. Intentional Characteristics were that therapeutic reading was Purposeful, that participants Recalled passages from reading and that participants Reread material. Interpersonal characteristics included that reading was an Individual Experience, that therapeutic reading was Like Relating to a Friend or another person, and that it was Like an Alternate Form of Therapy. Transporting characteristics were that readers Immersed themselves in reading and used reading as an Escape.
