The Development of Psychological Counseling—Literature Therapy

Abstract

It has been more than one hundred years since Psychology separated from Philosophy. During this period of time, people paid more and more attention to mental health issues. So, psychological counseling also gradually developed and expanded. In the course of the development of psychological counseling, the traditional psychological counseling has been improved and adjusted on the basis of the original theory, and many new methods and means of consultation have been derived, among which the brightest one is art therapy. After combing the traditional schools of psychological counseling, this paper discusses one method of art therapy--the literature therapy and its relationship with the traditional schools of psychological counseling.
