Journal of School Counseling, v19 n53 2021
School counselors need creative interventions to engage students in small groups. With students' interests changing quickly, one thing that has remained constant has been a fascination with comic books. They offer an enjoyable and creative way to engage children with stories that resonate with them. Additionally, bibliotherapy is an accessible and easy to implement strategy for children of all ages. This article will discuss the utilization of a comic book in a superhero bibliotherapy group with a diverse group of fourth and fifth grade students from a Gestalt perspective.
