Bibliotherapy in the Bronx

Book •
Emely Rumble's Bibliotherapy in the Bronx interweaves memoir, clinical insight, and case studies to argue for literature as a means of personal and collective healing.

Grounded in Rumble's years of clinical work in the Bronx, the book explains bibliotherapy's history, theory, and practical applications for clinicians, librarians, educators, and readers.

It foregrounds culturally affirming practices and the role of libraries and community spaces in supporting reading as therapy.

The book includes reflective exercises, book recommendations, and examples demonstrating how fiction and poetry can facilitate recognition, language for emotion, and behavioral change.

Rumble also highlights Black librarianship and accessibility, making a case for bibliotherapy as a social-justice-oriented mental health practice.
