A broad overview of bibliotherapy is offered on this page from Goodtherapy.org. Note that it covers some forms of bibliotherapy not addressed by Fiction That Heals (such as developmental bibliotherapy). Our focus is on therapeutic bibliotherapy using imaginative literature.
For a casual reflection on the therapeutic value of novels, read this post from Psychology Today.
The author of the Psychology Today post links to this article about one person's experience with bibliotherapy, published in the New Yorker.
For a more academic exploration of bibliotherapy, read this article (Androutsopoulou, 2001).
