Abstract
Before the emergence of the bibliotherapy as the method for the literature analysis, literary psychoanalysis points out the fact that literature
can be used for the purpose of achieving the psychological and the spiritual stability. We now know that there are many good reasons to use bibliotherapy as a method in the context of understanding literature, because over the millennia of literary history, the written word has become crucial
in human communication and records something about every conceivable aspect of human existence, especially the human psyche and emotions.
We can say that the literature, thanks to the emotions, realizes human aspirations for the aesthetic pleasure, information, teaching, inspiration, understanding, entertainment, etc. In the literature, almost everyone can find an example of how people approached and what they said about the
feelings, knowledge, ideas, desires and almost everything about human mental and physical activities and life problems. Classical bibliotherapy and literary bibliotherapy are tools for literary analysis that offer the very concrete answers to what the literature offers in terms of the self-knowledge
and the self-realization. This article will be about some similarities and differences between them.
