Bibliotherapy and cinema therapy, which involves “prescribing” patients works of art, has been gaining traction during the coronavirus outbreak.
like Ling Ma’s “Severance” and Emily St. John Mandel’s “Station Eleven” have garnered renewed interest during the outbreak, but does reading about plagues run counter to alleviating anxiety?“People tend to go one or two ways. They’ll either read a bunch of dystopian fiction or they’re going to read something that provides a complete escape,” Knecht said. “There’s no right way.
For those who are interested in leaning into things and reading about plagues, she says they should pick up Hilary Mantel’s “Wolf Hall” trilogy and “A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century.” Not only are the books long and immersive, but even though they are set in plague times, they are “far-removed from the current moment,” which she says can be “grounding” for readers and help put things in perspective.
“It’s endlessly interpretive and means different things to different people,” Perman said. “There’s just no way to engage with that movie and not have thoughts, even if the thought is, ‘What is this?’” “I would turn to books to understand a concept better and characters who had been through similar situations would help shed light on my own circumstances,” Shah said. “For example, when it came to discussing boundary setting with my therapist, the one-hour sessions weren’t enough for me, but reading books outside of session would close the gap and make all the difference in terms of me being able to apply the concept in my life.
