Book recommendations as a therapeutic instrument have been this investigation’s central axis, positing Bibliotherapy as treatment through books. With the goal of determining which books were being recommended as extensions to therapy, 81 psychological professionals from 8 countries were surveyed. 57 of those 81 were from Argentina, 14 from Colombia, 3 from Brazil, 2 from Peru and 1 from Ecuador; with a total of 77 South Americans. Additionally, 3 African participants took part: 2 from Angola and 1 from Mozambique. Finally, there was 1 based in Spain. Among those surveyed, 73 (90.12%) made explicit that they use Bibliotherapy as a resource. Therapists presented authors and works they suggest to their patients. Among the reasons for recommendation, the most frequent has been to expand on subjects covered during the session. In conclusion, there is a significant consensus in favor of Bibliotherapy and its use in different treatment devices is recommended.
