Group Treatment of Young Children through Bibliotherapy

Group Treatment of Young Children through Bibliotherapy

Bibliotherapy is offered for the treatment of aggressive pre-school children. Twenty five-years old children participated in the study, ten of them in treatment condition and the other ten in control condition. Ten sessions of Bibliotherapy were administered to the treatment children in two small groups, of five children each, by a trained pre-school teacher. To assess the effect of treatment all the children were observed in 30 units, ten before treatment, ten in the middle of treatment, and ten at post treatment. Results indicated significantly more favorable outcomes for the treatment children. These results are attributed to Bibliotherapy as a mode of treatment and to the group processes.
