英美公共图书馆阅读疗法服务理念、经验与启示

The Concept,Experience and Inspiration of Bibliotherapeutic Service in British and American Public Libraries

源起于英美的“阅读治疗”理念与图书馆服务有着不可分割的联系。现代图书馆可以阅读疗法服务为工作抓手,在社会公民的情绪管理、心理健康支持和精神养育方面提供助力。文章围绕两个研究问题展开:一是英美公共图书馆在阅读疗法发展史上的定位是什么;二是英美公共图书馆如何具体开展阅读疗法服务。通过对这两个研究问题的探究与解读,文章认为,可以通过推动公共图书馆成为公众心理健康支持的重要机构,强化阅读疗法服务与阅读推广的促进关系,加快培养阅读疗法方向知识复合型馆员,促进我国图书馆界达成行业共识,推动阅读疗法服务发展。

The concept of“reading therapy”,originating from the United Kingdom and the United States,is inseparably linked to library services.Modern libraries can use bibliotherapeutic services as a starting point to provide assistance in emotional management,mental health support and spiritual cultivation of social citizens.The article revolves around two research questions:firstly,the positioning of public libraries in the development of bibliotherapy in the UK and the US;secondly,the specific implementation of bibliotherapeutic services by public libraries in these regions.Through an exploration and interpretation of these questions,the article advocates to promote public libraries to become important institutions for public mental health support,to strengthen the relationship between bibliotherapeutic services and reading promotion,and to accelerate the training of knowledgeable librarians in the direction of bibliotherapy,so that we can promote the domestic library community to reach an industry consensus,and promote the development of bibliotherapeutic services.
