4. Reading and writing for better well-being

Research shows that both reading and writing can have an impact in therapy and well-being. Effects of reflective reading and writing include increased empathy with others, improved self-understanding and better well-being. But how does it work?

Catarina Rådefjäll and Maria Bom will tell us about their work with bibliotherapeutic writing and reading groups for patients and staff at the Ryhov Hospital Library. You will also get to try an exercise.
