Books
The following are reccomended books for particular topics. Please note that I am not a psychologist, nor have I applied these books in any sort of therapy or actual circumstance. These suggestions have been obtained from The Pittsburgh Carnegie Library website. You can find the complete booklists there.

The important thing to remember in Bibliotherapy is that not every book is appropiate for the client in question, as standards and values vary with each person. Also, the therapist must have read the book in advance, as to be aware of content the patient might deem offensive.
Please note that I haven't read any of the books above -- they're included solely for exploration purposes.
