Recent developments in bibliotherapy for adolescent depression
Overview
This narrative review examines bibliotherapy as a non-pharmacological intervention for adolescent depression, analyzing its therapeutic mechanisms and various application models such as guided versus unguided formats and digital approaches. The resource is intended for clinicians or researchers interested in the efficacy, limitations, and implementation considerations of this modality. It notes that while bibliotherapy can reduce depressive symptoms, effectiveness depends on factors like text selection and cultural context, with current research constrained by small sample sizes and lack of standardization.
