Endogeneity and the development of burkina faso: use ofguidance and counselling as a bibliotherapeutic adjuvant

Tegawende Stéphane OUEDRAOGO and Hamidou YAMEOGO

Abstract: 

In the heyday of the second Industrial Revolution (1870 to 1914), the workforce of the U.S. faced therein a rapid and fast-growing economy due to deep societal upheavals. These transformations opened the pandora’s box which required special coping mechanisms including Guidance and counselling. The post-democratic era of Burkina Faso also faces a fast-growing industrialization with structural reforms and endogenous alternatives, which give a sense of déjà vu to the informed reader. Perhaps this situation could be met with the same coping mechanism. At any rate, Burkina Faso is in dire need of healing its inflicted post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). What is PTSD? How did Burkina Faso fall in this somber diagnostic? What could be an endogenous alternative to addressing posttraumatic stress disorder in Burkina Faso? In view of the effectiveness of Guidance and counselling, would adopting this coping mechanism as a bibliotherapeutic adjuvant not yield significant results? In other words, the coping mechanism of the U.S. post Industrial Revolution presents potential benefits for Burkina Faso’s post democratic era. But how could its application be possible in this particular context? The authors of this article argue that utilizing Guidance and counselling as a bibliotherapeutic adjuvant would help heal the subconscious of young Burkinabe, and eventually sale them across the green pastures of development. In doing so, they pose questions like, how could Guidance and counselling benefit Burkina Faso in a context where nobody seems to like reading? How would bibliotherapy be effective in such a context? What then is bibliotherapy, and what are its modes of operandum? Why is bibliotherapy so capital to the context of Burkina Faso? How could the use of this adjuvant benefit Burkina Faso? Through the lens of philology, we discuss an endogenous way of developing Burkina Faso in this paper.
