The purpose of this study was to develop a bibliotherapy program and to examine it's effect on school-related attitudes of middle school students. To accomplish the purpose of this study, the following 2 hypotheses were established on the basis of theoretical backgrounds. 1.

A bibliotherapy program will improve subfactors of school-related attitudes of middle school students. The subfactors include school teacher's attitude and schoolmate's attitude. The subjects of this study were 37 first grade students at D middle school(cd-ed) in Daegu. The study employed bibliotherapy program developed by Lim, Chae-hee(2006).

The SPSS for windows 15.0 was used for the statistical analysis and the statistical significance level for the hypothetical verification was set at .05. In considering other theories and the results of previous researches, the conclusions from the results of this study are as follows: 1.
