Odisséias literárias: biblioterapia de desenvolvimento aplicada no Tribunal Regional do Trabalho do Ceará

Abstract

The mediation of reading is one of the fields of action of the librarian. One of these possibilities for mediation can be achieved through the integrative practice of Bibliotherapy. The application of bibliotherapy can be done with human or clinical development objectives. Both are directed towards the use of reading as a resource for well-being and quality of life. Thus, the present experience report aims at presenting developmental Bibliotherapy activities carried out at the Aderbal Nunes Freire Library, of the Regional Court of Ceará (Brazil), through the Literary Odysseas Project that took place throughout 2019. With this, the importance of books, reading and literature as human development and therapeutic potentials in this institution is highlighted, leading the librarian as a mediator of these practices aimed at integration, human development and improvement of the quality of life.
