Abstract

Bibliotherapy, a well-established method for enhancing mental well-being through the use of books and literature, has been a valuable tool in promoting mental health for many years. However, in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital technology, a new form of bibliotherapy, known as 'digital bibliotherapy,' has emerged. This innovative approach employs digital books, literature, and reading materials delivered through electronic devices, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones, to offer therapeutic benefits. Digital bibliotherapy combines the healing qualities of traditional bibliotherapy with the accessibility and convenience of digital technology. This platform's unique advantage lies in its ability to incorporate interactive elements and multimedia resources, fostering a more personalized and immersive therapeutic experience
