Books as therapy
Abstract
Over the years I have lent books to patients to read in order for them to understand more about what they are experiencing with their illnesses. I tell them that if they do not return the books, I will hunt them down and kill them, but I notice, despite my threats, that my library has quite a few gaps on the selves. I can never remember to whom I have lent them and I usually lose the slip of paper on which I have written their name and the book title.
