Joseph Dowd, PhD

Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Licensed Bibliotherapist

Bibliotherapy is the use of literature to support emotional and psychological well-being. By engaging with stories, individuals can gain new perspectives, cope with challenges like anxiety or grief, foster personal growth, and feel less alone in their struggles. It helps normalize mental health experiences, promotes empathy, and offers validation. Bibliotherapy can be applied in therapy, education, or as a self-help tool, making it a versatile approach to healing and self-discovery.
