In the first place, I dont know that we are conducting bibliotherapy, I thought we are just conducting a simple riddle reading activity, however, it seems that clients are actively participating even though it is too elementary for them. It looks like the activity expands the clients attention span. Being confined to a mental institution is so difficult for them and having a student nurse may alleviate their loneliness through various recreational activities to improve their social skills. Since I was not aware that we are conducting a bibliotherapy, Ill just go with the flow with my groupmates. ---
