about
As the pace of life accelerates, tension, anxiety and stress are increasingly becoming our daily companions. One way to help yourself, which is becoming more popular not only in Lithuania but also around the world, is bibliotherapy – therapeutic reading. Literature selected by a specialist helps to look at personal problems from the outside, dispel negative emotions and find answers to questions of concern. In order to develop this method and spread the message about the power of reading in a modern way, Birštonas Public Library is implementing the project “Bibliotherapy for the Development of Cultural Competences”.
We invite those interested in psychology and those looking for inspiration for life to free bibliotherapy evenings and book presentations.
On November 19 (Thursday) at 5:30 PM, the presentation of the book “Five Stories about Love with a Happy Ending” by writer Rasa Aškinytė will take place, with the participation of author and psychotherapist Timas Petraitis. Rasa Aškinytė is one of the most prominent contemporary Lithuanian prose writers, a Master of Philosophy, Doctor of Educational Sciences and a practitioner of Gestalt psychotherapy. Her collection of short stories “Five Stories about Love with a Happy Ending” tells five different stories of a woman and a man meeting, which provokes us to think about what a happy ending to love really is and whether it is possible to avoid self-harm in relationships. The author will discuss the real-life stories with the author, psychologist, psychotherapist, and author of books Timas Petraitis, who is able to speak about complex psychological phenomena simply, openly and with a light touch of humor.
