Purpose: Bibliotherapy is a therapeutic approach for addressing mental and psychological issues, involving six stages: identification, selection of reading materials, preparation of texts, simulation, refinement, and gaining insight. Among the advantages of bibliotherapy compared to other methods are its comprehensiveness, accessibility of various techniques, cost-effectiveness, ability to convey information in a limited time, and engagement of multiple senses. In this regard, the aim of the present study is to conduct a mapping and thematic analysis of bibliotherapy articles indexed in the Scopus database.
Method: This study employs a descriptive methodology and utilizes a scientometric approach. The statistical population consists of articles indexed in the Scopus database from 1990 to 2021. Data were extracted from this database and analyzed using V.O.S. Viewer and X software. During the search, the advanced search method of the Scopus database was employed, and the keywords "bibliotherapy", "book therapy", "reading therapy", "literature therapy" and "reading as therapy" were extracted from the titles, abstracts, and keywords of specialized texts and articles in the field of bibliotherapy. The total number of retrieved documents was 1,376. Due to time constraints and the type of documents, 985 articles were selected, resulting in 109 keywords that were subsequently reviewed using VOS Viewer software. These keywords were then entered into Excel for analysis and further review.
Findings: In this study reveal that a thesaurus network of articles in the field of bibliotherapy was constructed, identifying the most effective topics as well as new and significant areas of interest within this discipline. The most frequently occurring term in this thesaurus network is the chosen subject area, the prominence and recurrence of this term within the network is quite significant. The most impactful topics in this field can be inferred from the citation counts of relevant articles, indicating that "depression" and "child anxiety disorder" are two of the most critical subjects in this domain. The number of articles in this field has been steadily increasing, although the process has been slow and inconsistent. Recent topics explored in the area of bibliotherapy include resilience and creative bibliotherapy. To highlight the most significant topics in this field, two methods can be employed: assessing the degree of connection between topics and identifying the most frequently used words. Both methods yielded similar results, which included bibliotherapy and self-help.
