Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose and model the stages of reading therapy that school librarians can implement in school libraries. To achieve this, a review of the literature was conducted to examine the terminology, types, and principles of bibliotherapy, and to analyze domestic and international cases of bibliotherapy programs in library settings in order to identify elements applicable to school library practice. Additionally, a survey was carried out to assess the perceptions and experiences of school librarians nationwide regarding reading therapy. The reading therapy in school libraries is characterized as preventive and educational, functioning as developmental reading therapy. The content of reading therapy incorporates emotional domains, such as self-understanding, emotion regulation, and relationship building, based on CASEL’s Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) framework. Following the integration of existing developmental reading therapy models (Hynes and Hynes-Berry, Doll and Doll) and the principles of reading therapy (identification-catharsis-insight), an additional stage of ‘expression’ was introduced after the reading process, referencing the stages of reading (before, during, and after reading) to facilitate application to school reading education. The proposed stages of reading therapy in school libraries consist of four phases: analyzing, selecting, reading, and expressing.
