Abstract

Biblio is a combining form occurring in loanwords from Greek (bibliography). On this model, biblio is used in the formation of compound words with the meaning “book” (bibliophile), and sometimes with the meaning “Bible” (bibliolatry, on the model of idolatry).1 Bibliotherapy (also referred to as book therapy or reading therapy) uses reading materials to help solve personal problems or for psychiatric therapy. It is guidance in the solution of personal problems through directed reading.2 Bibliotherapy, as an adjunct to treating medical and psychological problems, has a long history in the library science literature.3 Bibliotherapy may benefit patients with problems of living such as dealing with life crises and transitions, parents, and children, parenting, coping with illness and disability, death and dying, lifestyle modification, sexuality, and coping with feelings.3 However, most physicians do not know bibliotherapy, and it is rarely used in clinical practices. Epilepsy is a disease characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition.4 Herein, we discussed the use of bibliotherapy in patients with epilepsy to attract attention to the importance of bibliotherapy in clinical practice. Using books to improve mental well-being and facilitate health promotion are concepts that have long been recognized in librarianship.5 Sadie Peterson Delaney (1889–1958) was the chief librarian of the Veterans Administration Hospital and a pioneer in her work with bibliotherapy.6 She defined bibliotherapy as, “the treatment of patients through selected reading.” Delaney’s most significant accomplishmentwas in the techniques she developed and experimented with in using library materials and activities to rehabilitate hospital patients, especially mental patients.7 Sadie Delaney conferred with doctors and psychiatrists to learn the backgrounds and problems of patients. Then based on this information, she visited patients on wards with the book cart to interest them in reading and to tell them about the special groups and clubs that met in the library.7 Several reasons have been noted for using bibliotherapy: improvingan individual’s self-awareness andself-understanding and increasing understanding and empathy for others. Bibliotherapy can also help relieve stress, provide successful coping strategies, and help an individual to be able to express both feelingsand ideasaboutaproblemordifficulty.8Whether the texts are fiction, aiming to promote relaxation and enjoyment, ornonfictionself-helpbooks, providing informationand insight to patients with long-term conditions such as depression, diabetes, or epilepsy, the social value of texts is widely appreciated.5 Pawlowska-Jaron9 also noted that bibliotherapy might be used in patients with epilepsy. Neuropsychiatric comorbidities, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, cognitive impairment, autism, and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, are common andunderdiagnosed among people with epilepsy, impacting clinical outcomes. Biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to the association of epilepsy with neuropsychiatric comorbidities, and there is evidence of shared underlying pathophysiology.10 Recently, Mendel et al11 noted that bibliotherapy might be useful in helping children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; anxiety and perfectionism; boundaries, sexual abuse, and inappropriate touching; emotions, behavior, anger, and self-control; having a parent with mental illness; obsessive compulsive disorder; and traumaanddomestic and family violence.Mendel et al11 have also developed a database of recommendations of some appropriate and valuable books for children on these topics.

阅读疗法在癫痫患者中的应用
Biblio是希腊语外来词的合成词。在这种模式下,biblio被用来构成复合词,意思是“书”(藏书者),有时也有“圣经”的意思(bibliolatry,在偶像崇拜的模式下)阅读疗法(也称为书籍疗法或阅读疗法)使用阅读材料来帮助解决个人问题或用于精神治疗。它是通过定向阅读来解决个人问题的指导阅读疗法作为治疗医学和心理问题的辅助手段,在图书馆学文献中有着悠久的历史阅读疗法可以使有生活问题的病人受益,如处理生活危机和转变、父母和孩子、养育子女、应对疾病和残疾、死亡和临终、改变生活方式、性行为和处理感情然而,大多数医生并不了解阅读疗法,并且很少在临床实践中使用。癫痫是一种以产生癫痫发作的持久易感性以及由此产生的神经生物学、认知、心理和社会后果为特征的疾病在此,我们讨论了阅读疗法在癫痫患者中的应用,以引起人们对阅读疗法在临床实践中的重要性的关注。利用书籍来改善心理健康和促进健康是图书馆界长期以来公认的概念萨迪·彼得森·德莱尼(1889-1958)是退伍军人管理医院的首席图书管理员,也是图书疗法的先驱她将阅读疗法定义为“通过选择性阅读对患者进行治疗”。德莱尼最重要的成就是她开发和试验了利用图书馆资料和活动来康复医院病人,特别是精神病人的技术赛迪·德莱尼与医生和精神科医生交流,了解病人的背景和问题。然后根据这些信息,她推着书车去探访病房里的病人,使他们对阅读产生兴趣,并告诉他们在图书馆里聚会的特殊团体和俱乐部人们注意到使用阅读疗法的几个原因:提高个人的自我意识和自我理解,增加对他人的理解和同情。阅读疗法也可以帮助缓解压力,提供成功的应对策略,并帮助个人能够表达对问题或困难的感受和想法。无论文本是小说,旨在促进放松和享受,还是非小说类自助书籍,为抑郁症、糖尿病或癫痫等长期疾病患者提供信息和见解,文本的社会价值都受到广泛赞赏Pawlowska-Jaron9还指出,阅读疗法可能用于癫痫患者。神经精神合并症,包括抑郁、焦虑、精神病、认知障碍、自闭症和心因性非癫痫性发作,在癫痫患者中很常见,但诊断不足,影响临床结果。生物、心理和社会因素导致癫痫与神经精神合并症的关联,并且有证据表明存在共同的潜在病理生理最近,Mendel等人注意到阅读疗法可能对帮助患有注意力缺陷多动障碍的儿童有用;焦虑和完美主义;界限、性虐待和不适当的接触;情绪、行为、愤怒和自我控制;父母有精神疾病的;强迫症;还有创伤,家庭暴力和家庭暴力。孟德尔等人还建立了一个数据库,为儿童推荐一些有关这些主题的合适而有价值的书籍。该数据库可在http://www上找到。marisamendelmd.com/books。我们注意到,许多医生建议读一本书,书名为《给病人的信息》

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
