A Clinician's Guide to Think Good-Feel Good: Using CBT with children and young people

I have used this program with 8 children together with their parents and I have had really good results with it. The nine chapters (that are lessons) go through stages, first teaching kids how to recognize their thoughts and how they connect with and create feelings. Later chapter help kids to challenge those irrational beliefs and then ways to ignore them and replace them. For some kids the pace (one chapter a week) is just right, for other too slow, so you can double up the chapters or skip parts. Great homework pages too, which not only reinforce the reading but help you to make sure that they are 'getting it'. I make copies of the pages and pass them out as we go through it.

This method of doing it with a parent is important because they can do it together and the parent learns the ideas and then knows how to intervene when the child's thinking (or their own) gets off track.

Cons: I always explain that it was written by an Englishman and that there is some language (What's a dust bin?) and grammar that is different.

Also I try to partner with the parent that the child takes after, but if they are too depressed and impatient, it wont work. I will go with the other parent or do it with the child my self, but have separate meetings with parents.

Highly recommended.

Written with British English so some words are spelled differently. It's an expensive book, but there isn't much available written by U.S. authors. Any counselor who specializes in this area would have a fantastic following in Virginia as counselors trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy are practically non-existant here.
