Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study explored the experience and meaning of bibliotherapy for parents of adolescent children with intellectual disabilities. In-depth interviews were conducted with five parents who participated in bibliotherapy for one to two years. The interviews were analyzed using van Manen’s (1990) phenomenological methodology to deeply understand their experience and meaning of bibliotherapy in their vivid language. For the parents of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, the experience of bibliotherapy was revealed through: found my forgotten world from the book; share a load you can’t put down; heart opened to others at last; self-healing activates itself when needed; and acceptance of a child’s slow-growing adolescence. This study underscored the importance of practical interventions for supporting parents of adolescent children with intellectual disabilities.
