Abstract

This paper provides a theoretical reference about bibliotherapy and identifies some parameters available in the BRAPCI database. The general objective is to present a literature review on bibliotherapy, the librarian in this field and the benefits of the practice. The specific objectives were to conduct a bibliographic survey on the subject of bibliotherapy and its application, to identify the ways in which librarians work in bibliotherapy, and to identify the results of the application of bibliotherapy in the literature. The search carried out at BRAPCI showed which journals, authors and years with their respective amounts of publications between 1972 and 2022. At the end of the survey, the analysis of the results of publications that had bibliotherapy practices was made and thus the results of bibliotherapy and the role of the librarian were identified. The objectives were achieved and it was concluded that bibliotherapy is a vast field of action for the librarian and that it is a branch of librarianship to be further explored.
