The Place of Story in Affective Development: Implications for Educators and Clinicians.

Crago, Hugh

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v17 n4 p129-42 Sum 1985

Traditional literary criticism, reader-response research, and the techniques of systemic therapy are brought together to provide guidelines for teachers and counselors concerned with using stories to further the emotional development of children. A theory of reader-story interaction is proposed, and a case is made for individually composed therapeutic stories. (MCK)
