Abstract

Studies in psychiatry and psychology have been conducted to find alternatives of therapies to deal with the adolescent problems. One of the alternatives is bibliotherapy. Recently, the studies of bibliotherapy in Indonesia, especially in Surabaya, have been increasing. The purpose of this article is to explore the effectiveness of bibliotherapy in dealing with the adolescent problems based on theoretical review and results of some studies on bibliotherapy (Novitawati, Rahayu, & Lasmono, 2001; Sukamto, 2005; Hidayat, 2008; Patricia, 2007; Suprapto, 2009). Some studies proved that bibliotherapy was effective in reducing smoking behavior (Novitawati et al., 2001), body image dissatisfaction (Sukamto, 2005), and enhancing self-concept (Patricia, 2007), whereas the other studies (Hidayat, 2008; Suprapto, 2009) still could not prove the significant effectiveness.
