The Bibliotherapy Toolbox


Discover the magic that happens when books meet the therapeutic power of play.


Bibliotherapy – the use of stories to help clients explore their experiences – is an engaging treatment approach that facilitates self-awareness, fosters emotional wellness, and allows clients to gain new perspectives.

In The Bibliotherapy Toolbox, you’ll find a variety of kid-friendly interventions that combine the power of books with the principles of play therapy – bringing the metaphors, symbolism, and lessons of each story to life in a therapeutically meaningful way.

Featuring over 100 story-based, step-by-step interventions you can use right away, The Bibliotherapy Toolbox addresses a wide range of therapeutic topics, including:

Whether you’re looking to build rapport, explore a client’s worldview, process traumatic stress, or build crucial skills, The Bibliotherapy Toolbox has what you need!
