Abstract:

Based on the views of cultural nourishment and psychological quality cultivation, this paper describes the positive influence of the “mental health” movement on relevant fields in China after its rise in the United States in the early 20th century, and proposes that students, parents, teachers, librarians, etc. should master the knowledge of “mental health” and “guiding bibliography of emotional healing” through knowledge of reading emotions, growth, learning, positive psychology and so forth. It calls for schools and public libraries to utilize occasions such as “4·23 World Book and Copyright Day”, “5·25 Mental Health Day” and “10·10 World Mental Health Day” to conduct reading healing activities with “book prescription” so as to help readers in need of emotional relief and mental health care. It also appeals to implement “national mental health” activities in order to vigorously promote the building of a harmonious society and cultural and ethical progress.
