Why do we say that reading can help us prevent and treat some psychological problems? This is determined by the function of reading and psychological principles, and the therapeutic function of reading is determined by the mechanism of * * * sound, balance, suggestion, projection and comprehension in psychology. According to the survey, middle school students generally have the following problems at this stage: weak self-control, willfulness, and self-centered habits; Dependence on others, poor autonomy and independence; Moral deviation, poor ability to distinguish right from wrong; Lack of collective cooperation ability, difficult to communicate with people; Compulsion, anxiety and autism caused by study pressure; The imbalance between physical and psychological development leads to puberty syndrome. The above phenomenon leads to the contradiction between some students' cognition and emotion, and the deviation between behavior and consciousness. If it is not resolved, it will easily lead to mental illness. If we can prescribe "prescriptions" suitable for students' psychological needs in a planned and targeted way according to their own characteristics, guide students to read deeply, and make students have strong psychological recognition and emotional support, we can achieve the purpose of self-correction or treatment.
Teachers should understand students' reading interests and reading differences when recommending reading materials. Due to the differences in personality, temperament and interests, some students prefer reading novels, while others prefer reading philosophical and logical works. Different genres of works bring people different feelings: poetry and prose can mobilize people's emotions, so that people's emotions can be adjusted and dismissed; The thinking and feelings in philosophical works often make people suddenly enlightened.
In fact, suggestion and self-suggestion play a very prominent role in bibliotherapy. The fate of the characters in the book, the plot changes, the ways to deal with problems and philosophical arguments can all play the role of psychological suggestion. For example, when reading biographies and novels, the characters in the works will play the role of internalizing quality for readers. In this regard, "If Give Me Three Days of Light" is a typical reading, and every reader will be praised by Helen? Keller was shocked and moved by the spirit of challenging fate. He reflected on his life significance and lamented that he could not waste his life. This state of understanding is the fundamental significance of bibliotherapy.
Practice has proved that the interaction between teachers and students and between students plays a special role in bibliotherapy. For example, books and periodicals (articles) recommended by teachers in class, or teachers' evaluation of something, and students' views on a work will all play a psychological suggestion role for readers.
For example, a student never talks to others actively when interacting with his classmates, and is often in a passive and unpleasant situation. We should recommend him books and periodicals on how to communicate with others and how to cultivate self-confidence, such as "Learning Society" (by Jin Dalu and Huang Hongji, Beijing Publishing House) and "Princess Looking Forward" (omitted by Bao Luo)
