Healing with books, in Lisbon
Words/Phrases
Curar-se/healing; Perhaps more precisely in
English, heal yourself?
Biblioterapia/A neologism, however perhaps one day it
may become a mainstream word if the idea catches on.
The use of -se in for example, curar-se has
required that I do some research into the use of -se, -me etc, and according to
Barron’s 501 Portuguese Verbs they
are what is called reflexive pronouns and consequently curar-se is what is
called a reflexive conjugation
