Good Morning,

One of our nurses is interested in setting up a library for the
psychiatric in-patients.  Has anyone done this and can offer suggestions
as to the types of books that should be available for these patients?

I was not able to find much in the medical literature regarding
bibliotherapy and psychiatric patients, but did find that these
libraries mainly contain self-help books.

Thanks in advance for your help.
