Abstract
ABSTRACT The current research studied the possible functions of interactive bibliotherapy when implemented for international students. Four international students studying in a university in London participated in five interactive bibliotherapy sessions. Each participant underwent an interview after the sessions, and the contents were transcribed and analysed through a thematic analysis. A total of 4 main themes and 11 subthemes were extracted. It was shown that international students, who were having difficulty in accessing psychological aid, joined the interactive bibliotherapy sessions with relative ease. Sessions provided them a space where they could lay aside their normal routine, and freely express themselves. It was also a space whereby participants were able to become aware of their stress, and had the opportunity to do some retrospection on their selves, all the while gaining flexibility. Lastly, the current research presented a model of interactive bibliotherapy for international students.
