BIBLIOTHERAPY WITH JANICE
"BOOKS ARE MIRRORS: YOU CAN ONLY SEE IN THEM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE INSIDE YOU." ......from The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
​WHAT IS BIBLIOTHERAPY WITH JANICE? The above quote is the basic idea for this group. The group is led by marriage and family therapist, Janice Shapiro, who uses novels and memoirs as a therapeutic tool for change. Members read the story and then come together to share interpretations. Opening the door to seeing the world from different perspectives, allows for flexing rigid perspectives. Making change happen.
WHO GOES TO BIBLIOTHERAPY GROUP? People who enjoy reading stories and want to understand and enrich their own lives.
WHERE AND HOW OFTEN? Each Book Cycle is 6 weeks long, once a week.

Week 4 & 5: (1 1/2 hours each) Group Discussion;
Week 6: Reflection.
Cost: $250 for each Book Cycle (book not included).
