I would think the child should see a counselor- not read a book.I am not a big fan
of bibliotherapy as I have seen it do some damage to students.I would only attempt
such a thing with a counselor or someone with a lot of training in my back
pocket.Just a word of caution.AllanDr. Allan O'Grady Cuseo, MGCDirector of Library

LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDUSubject: Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Bibliotherapy help, please! 6th
grader.Dear listserv folks: Here's a request I've received from a
teachercolleague. I would appreciate any help. If I might pick your awesome
brain, could you think of some books that can help a child who is having some sad
emotional strain? Either fiction or nonfiction might be helpful. Sixth grader
Issues: 1) mother & father separated 2) mother marrying another man 3) child
reports step-father is supportive, but child feels anger with him because he
feels conflicted that he should submit to the step father's fair discipline
because he wishes it were his father who was there doing the job. 4) father in
jail until ~April and then will expect problems 5) mother says father used to be a
super dad 6) child concerned about loyalty and extent of love 7) child feels "not
regular" compared to other children 8) child feels jealous of kids who get to see
their dads every day 9) child feels sad 10) seems responsive to the idea of looking
for and listing the good things in his life 11) really important grandmother is
in fourth recurrence of cancer --- only taking herbs; child worried Novels and
how-to-be happy books may give him a new direction to focus his energy. Many
thanks for your help, Robin Shtulman WMRLS circuit rider WMRLS, Whately, MA
