Dear Liz
Have I mentioned to you before that Cath McCafferty
who works in our patients library services in Mersey
Care has actually undertaken some pilot bibliotherapy
work with service users and we are currently planning
to extend this with other groups through our
psychological services. She has done extensive
searching and reading around this area and has visited
other initiatives and generally done a lot of digging!
I'm sure Cath won't mind me blowing her trumpet! I've
copied her into the message so you can see her e-mail
address. hope that helps.
