Think Good – Feel Good: A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Workbook for Children and Young People

“…British Medical Association has commended Paul Stallard, a consultant clinical psychologist, for his book for professionals…” (Bath Chronicle, 8 Dec 2003)

“…Two books by psychologists have been praised in the Mental Health Category of the BMA Association’s 2003 book competition…” (The Psychologist, 1 Jan 2004)

“…a book that does exactly what it says on the cover…a wealth of experience in a highly accessible volume…” (European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Vol 12(313), 2003)

“…a good, clear synthesis of the techniques that are available… (and) some nice, fun ways of presenting them to children…” (Journal of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, No.1 and 2, 2005)

Paul Stallard introduces his resource by covering the basic theory and rationale behind Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and how the workbook should be used. An attractive and lively workbook follows which covers the core elements used in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy programmes but conveys these ideas to children and young people in an understandable way and uses real life examples familiar to them. The practical series of exercises and worksheets introduce concepts that can be applied to each unique set of problems.

Think Good – Feel Good provides the clinician with a range of flexible and highly appealing materials that can be used to structure and facilitate clinical sessions. This is a “must have” resource for clinical psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, community psychiatric nurses, educational psychologists and occupational therapists. Social workers, school nurses, practice counsellors and health visitors would also find this resource to be of great value.
