Modern bibliotherapy is a form of arts therapy in which the practitioner, commonly called a bibliotherapist, prescribes a reading during a therapeutic interview.
This book, carefully chosen according to different criteria that we will study within this training, will allow a greater self-awareness, a cathartic relief, and a better understanding of the emotional, psychological, social and cognitive problems of the patient.
I have designed this online training as an exhaustive guide to the practice of modern bibliotherapy: I’ll refer to case studies of readers who, during bibliotherapy sessions, have experienced real transformations on the psychic level.
You’ll learn different techniques and many work tools for a playful practice of bibliotherapy.
In this way, the objective of this training is to make it accessible to the general public and allow everyone to appropriate bibliotherapy and apply it to daily life: I’ll offer reading recommendations based on different problems of psychological issues, as well as bibliotherapy tools, materials and reference documents essential to an ethical practice of bibliotherapy.
The training will be divided into 36 lessons grouped into eight modules, thus covering all areas of study of bibliotherapy, ranging from practice with various audiences to the bibliotherapeutic treatment of multiple psychic disorders.
Here’s a sneek peek:
Last but not least, a certifying assessment will determine the obtaining of your Certificate of Achievement, allowing you to practice bibliotherapy in a professional manner.
This Certificate of Achievement will justify your theoretical knowledge and professional skills acquired throughout this training.
It is important to emphasize that I have made the choice to give you lifetime access to this training in modern bibliotherapy.
And, the icing on the cake:
Since I want to offer everyone the chance to discover modern bibliotherapy, I offer a 14-Day 100% Money Back Guarantee!
No questions asked, and no hard feelings: I guarantee that too! 😉

Yes!
Literature teacher, then high school librarian, I integrated modern bibliotherapy into my practice in school.
It is thanks to my own experience that I understood the need to offer in my course an entire module dedicated to bibliotherapy for children and adolescents, commonly called developmental bibliotherapy.
Easy: by taking this course!
Couldn't agree more!
This is why my online course offers you advanced theoretical knowledge AND the acquisition of technical and practical skills, thanks to the case study and the sharing of many practical tools.
Similarly, the last module, entitled "Becoming bibliotherapist" is dedicated to your integration into the profession.
That's right! When your registration is validated, you will automatically integrate The Manoir AND have full access to a secret part called The Académie!
You will then be able to share your impressions, questions, and readings with other students of the modern bibliotherapy training.
Unfortunately no!
Running a Book Club requires many human qualities and technical and literary skills that will be useful to you in your practice of modern bibliotherapy, but these are indeed two distinct professions.
Sorry, but no... Your diploma will obviously be very useful to you, because your studies in Literature have enabled you to acquire a rich literary culture.
However, where Literature courses teach us to apprehend the literary text from an analytical and stylistic point of view, modern bibliotherapy is interested in the highly subjective aspect of literary material.
A bibliotherapist is not an English teacher; he is the mediator between the narration/protagonist/author, and the patient.
Not at all! It is a rich and exciting job that goes well beyond individual consultation.
Throughout the course, I offer you multiple ways to integrate modern bibliotherapy within various workshops, face-to-face and remotely.
Absolutely!
This course is perfectly possible for someone who would like to integrate modern bibliotherapy into their daily life and apply it to their loved ones.
It's entirely possible! You may use the Stripe payment gateway.

As a college dropout–teen pregnancy– I always wanted to earn a degree and a chance to prove myself and my relatives I’m worth the effort.
Now, thanks to this amazing course that I took from the comfort of my home, I can finally support myself and my son as a bibliotherapist: I found a part-time job at the local library, I opened my own practice at home, and my client list grows every single day!

I want to thank you, Agnes, for offering such a high quality bibliotherapy course at an unbeatable price; as you know, I’m a bookseller and bookshop owner, and my sales have dropped since covid.
People have taken on new shopping habits and their local bookshop is no longer one of them.
A few months ago, on the verge of bankruptcy, I took the plunge: I decided to add ‘bibliotherapist’ to my many entrepreneurial skills and give a facelift to my beloved bookshop.
After some researches online, I ended up on your blog and really liked the idea of connecting with a writer for their love for reading and mental health… such a magical combination!
I now offer sound advice, I’ve expanded my offer to include more and more Self Help books, and I’ve even created a monthly book club.
And guess what: my sales took off!
For the first time in nearly two years, I’m going to be able to take a well-deserved little break: say hello to sunny Andalusia, aka my childhood dream!
Thank you again for everything,
Your training changed my life… for the better!
Much love,

I am halfway through the training and the quality is just awesome. I do not intend to become a professional bibliotherapist but I really want to recommend this training to those who wish to treat themselves, thanks to books, and who want to understand how to help their loved ones get better.

A year ago my daughter gave birth to a stillborn child. As a father it kills me to see my daughter suffer every day. I’m not the type to pour myself out so a traditional therapy was out of the question. I looked for different solutions and I came across this training by chance.
It has now been several weeks since I completed this training and I must admit that the benefits of bibliotherapy are there. I even had the opportunity to go several times to Barnes & Noble and please my family while having the impression of making myself useful.
