ABSTRACT Formal and non-formal settings of education are called for action in matter of creating hopeful places for children, since hope is one of the most powerful psychological predictors of success in youth. It is what enables people to set-valued goals, to see the means to achieve those goals, and to find the drive to make those goals become a reality. To promote hope we assess bibliotherapy as a possible tool, presenting an intervention protocol named “Opening doors to the future through reading and reflection.” This intervention was implemented with 173 children, aged between 7 and 12 years. The overall results show that the bibliotherapy protocol was effective in instilling the levels of hopeful thinking among children and increasing the awareness of hope. Therefore, this work gathers practical guidelines from a practitioner perspective, which can further help design interventions that instill hope in both children and adolescents.

书目疗法作为教育环境中建立希望的工具

摘要 正规和非正规教育环境需要采取行动，为儿童创造充满希望的地方，因为希望是青年成功的最有力的心理预测因素之一。它使人们能够设定有价值的目标，看到实现这些目标的方法，并找到使这些目标成为现实的动力。为了激发希望，我们将书目疗法作为一种可能的工具进行评估，提出了一项名为“通过阅读和反思打开未来之门”的干预方案。这项干预措施对 173 名 7 至 12 岁的儿童实施。总体结果表明，书目疗法方案在向儿童灌输充满希望的思维水平和提高希望意识方面是有效的。因此，这项工作从从业者的角度收集实用指南，
