This study aims to qualitatively explore the bibliotherapeutic process by which a male Taiwanese doctoral student relieved his negative emotions related to writing his dissertation in England. The research question is: How did a male Taiwanese doctoral student overcome the struggle of writing his dissertation through self-guided bibliotherapy? Data collection included four Microsoft Network (MSN) interviews, six e-mails, one face-to-face interview, and bibliotherapeutic materials. The Model of the S-P-R-I-N-G Theory, developed and coined by Wang on the basis of Ellis's A-B-C theory, is chosen to be the analytical framework for the present study. The results of the study allow for a better understanding of the feasibility and importance of self-guided bibliotherapy in confronting difficult situations, such as struggling with dissertation writing. Interested researchers may do similar or advanced researches on the value of self-guided bibliotherapy to enrich its practice, theory, and research. |
