摘要:This study aims to find out the main experiences with bibliotherapy aimed at people affected by various diseases, whether physical and/or mental, or social in Brazil and abroad. It is justified by presenting the therapeutic function of reading. This study is based on the theoretical and historical concepts of bibliotherapy, the knowledge of the main experiences with bibliotherapy in Brazil and comparing it with the national and international reality regarding its use. To this end, it is an exploratory, qualitative and bibliographic research, which searched for published material on national and international databases (LISA) on experiences that used bibliotherapy for the well-being of the individual. Thus, it is observed that Brazil is moving towards expanding the use of therapy, while other countries use it in hospitals, schools, prisons, among others. This allows us to conclude that bibliotherapy provides health and well-being to those who use it.
