Living with Mental Illness: Books, Stories and Memoirs
AACAP’s Consumer Issues Committee has developed a list of bibliotherapy resources for patients, families and clinicians. These books can be rich educational tools and therapeutic resources. Some of the books listed below are written in the voice of a young child with mental illness, some are fictional stories with helpful themes, and some are firsthand accounts written by patients or families about their personal experience with mental illness. The material in some books may not be appropriate for every reader. The clinician or parent should review the material first and use good judgment before recommending books to specific patients or children.
