Between “therapy”, seen in a medical sense, and “cure”, understood in a humanistic sense, this essay reflects on Bibliotherapy, the use of books and, above all, how they are read, communicated/co participated in a curative sense. The theme has been known since 1916 when Samuel Crothers, in his essay “A Literary Clinic”, introduced the concept of Bibliotherapy. Reading can become a way of approaching the problem of illness, a way of caring for the sick person. Reading always involves a reflexive dialogue - with the author of the writing (book), with the narrated characters, with oneself, with one's surroundings, with others who inhabit and determine it. A reflexive way of offering ourselves to the care of others; of taking care of ourselves and letting others take care of us. The bibliotherapeutic dimension, then, can only be relational, cultural. It is precisely on this narrative-relational aspect, for example, that Narrative Medicine has focused. Narrative-medical practice could help doctors and nurses, social workers and therapists bring therapy and care together in a more effective approach that fosters the development of the capacity for attention, reflection, representation and affiliation among patients, families and medical and paramedical staff.
