Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1995 | ISBN-10: 1560324813 | ISBN-13: 978-1560324812 | Edition: 1

"Nearly all childhood problems fall somewhere within the "big three" - anger, anxiety and depression", claims Jerry Wilde, PhD, author of this new guide to treating the most prevalent problems facing children and adolescents today by way of rational-emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). Wilde applies a cognitive-behavioural perspective to the "big three" when working with young people in both individual or group and school or private settings. He teaches novice and seasoned practitioners the requisite techniques for turning cognitive-behavioural theory into actual REBT progress in the lives of children and adolescents. For each of the "big three", the book examines causes and effective treatments/interventions and supplies a six to eight week group counselling guide, plus verbatim transcripts of sessions with clients. Also provided is an extensive overview of REBT. As young people learn that they are not disturbed by events, but by views they take of events, they acquire skills for a lifetime of self-control over anger, anxiety and depression in the classroom, workplace and home. The techniques detailed in this guide should make that goal more accessible.

More About the Author

Jerry Wilde is a professor of educational psychology for Indiana University East. Prior to this academic appointment, he spent years working with students who had emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties. It was through his experiences with children and families that he learned the skills and techniques included in his books. His experiences with his own health problems have reinforce his beliefs about the nature of emotions. After experiencing kidney failure and being on dialysis, he was fortunate enough to receive a kidney transplant. However, he recenlty developed cancer in his transplanted kidney and will soon be back on dialysis. Through it all, Jerry remains optimistic and stubbornly refuses to let these difficulties change his outlook on life. Other than psychology, the great loves of his life are his family, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Minnesota Twins, and Diet Mt. Dew. He can be contacted at [e-mail]
