Enhancing Self Esteem

Providing comprehensive coverage of self esteem, this text presents a four phase process - Identity, Strengths and Weaknesses, Nurturance, and Maintenance - which is described along with the resistance on encounters, and provides the basis for successfully enhancing self-esteem. Interventions are outlined to bring together theory and methods - cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. The strategies included are applicable to several populations (child, teen, and adult) and several settings (school, business, and community).
For both children and adults, this book is designed to be a textbook for courses, workshops, and seminars. It will also serve as an excellent resource for teachers and counselors and will be used by individuals for self-improvement. Some key features of the third edition are: It translates theory into practice; provides 107 activities with specific procedures and anticipated outcomes; relates each activity to one of four phase processes; utilizes a systematic approach to enhancing self esteem; incorporates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of individuals.
