At the Polyclinic, we prepare guided reading for users who want it, during the time they receive our therapies, in order to ensure relaxation time and “shut off the outside world”.

BIBLIOTHERAPY is the use of books, that is, literature for the purpose of overcoming stressful and difficult life periods that damage our health.

The history goes back to ancient Egypt where the word was prescribed as a medicine. The story we are listening to touches the auditory nerve that runs through the base of the skull into the brainstem just below the pons. There, the auditory impulses are conducted into consciousness, or, as they say, into the soul… depending on the approach the listener has.

When coming to therapy, clients declare whether they want to be read to during therapy.

This is followed by an agreement on the literature. You can bring your own book, choose a book from our library or express a wish that you would like to listen to, after which we will try to find the desired literature.

We have verified, educated volunteers to read the book.
