Milika Tembo’s Bibliotherapy Desk

Field notes

The homepage defines bibliotherapy as using books, stories, poetry, and other written material within a guided process for reflection, emotional understanding, and personal development. Its public-facing work is organised around guest lectures, interactive workshops, awareness sessions, conference talks, and research collaboration. The site also sets an important boundary: these sessions are educational and structured so they do not become unplanned therapy. Research is explicitly situated in Zambia and in “unstructured contexts.”
