Bibliotherapy: A form of supportive psychotherapy in which the patient is given carefully selected material to read.
UConn PhD candidate Mary Mahoney has created an online exhibit around bibliotherapy as it was used during WWI: http://booksasmedicine.com/.
UConn Health is fortunate to have 5 display panels that were created in conjunction with the online exhibit. These panels mirror the 5 sections of the online exhibit: Library War Service, Hospital Libraries, “Prescribing” Books, Contagion, and Science. You can view the display on the wall just outside the bookstore on the main floor in the academic entrance.
