Bibliotherapy in Individual Psychotherapy and Support Groups of Women Struggling with Infertility

Abstract

This article presents basic theoretical and methodological assumptions on the use of bibliotherapy (with the use of biblical texts and modern literature) in individual therapy and support groups of women struggling with infertility. Bibliotherapy as an agent that supports the therapeutic process, not only allows infertile to gain insight into the current life situation, but also to relieve suppressed and unconscious emotions and, finally, to give the patient’s own infertility a unitary meaning, devoid of superficial schemes and external influences.
