Cognitive behaviour therapy for low self-esteem: A preliminary randomized controlled trial in a primary care setting

Effect of cognitive behavioral group therapy for recovery of self‐esteem on community‐living individuals with mental illness: Non‐randomized controlled trial

“…From these factors, we can suggest that the intervention group learned about defusion and, in the program as well as experienced clarification of their values, gained better mastery of their mental state and vitality; as they managed to maintain these aspects, this led to better self‐esteem. When we look at the CBT intervention follow‐up with those with low self‐esteem, we can see that they were able to maintain higher self‐esteem 3 months post‐intervention . In this study, however, we were able to verify the lasting effect 12 months post‐intervention; it could be said that this program is a program that can help recovery and maintain one's self‐esteem for a relatively longer period.…”

“…In the studies by Morton et al using Fennell's approach, the results of the pre‐ and post‐test showed that self‐esteem, depression, and anxiety had improved, and in Rigby and Waite's study, it was reported that the improvement lasted 2 months post‐intervention. Likewise, Waite et al reported that in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of individual CBT using Fennell's approach, self‐esteem remained high 3 months post‐intervention. The authors of this study (H. K.) have also conducted CBT on 41 individuals with mental illnesses and compared the indicators before and after the program; self‐esteem, confidence in coping, inadequate mental mastery, and psychiatric symptoms showed improvements that lasted 3 months post‐intervention .…”

Impact of self esteem on risky sexual behaviors among Nigerian adolescents

“…Several evidence-based methods to improve self-esteem among adolescents have been proposed including aerobic exercise, psychosocial therapy, lifestyle changes, cognitive and group therapy (Hasanpour, Tabatabaei, Alavi, & Zolaktaf, 2014; Hershow et al, 2015; Waite, McManus, & Shafran, 2012). A recent study found that incorporating soccer into HIV prevention programs for adolescent girls not only improved their knowledge of HIV and openness to HIV testing and counselling, but also improved their self-confidence, self-efficacy and self-esteem (Hershow et al, 2015).…”

Evidence‐Based Practice in the Face of Complexity and Comorbidity: A Case Study of an Adolescent With Asperger's Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain

“…Reviews were held at sessions 6, 12, and 20, which included family members and the team's psychiatrist. To inform the treatment approach, a cognitive behavioral treatment for low selfesteem was used as a predominant model (Fennell, 1998;McManus et al, 2009;Shirk, Burwell, & Harter, 2003;Waite, McManus, & Shafran, 2012), with adaptations made for the comorbid ASD (Attwood & Scarpa, 2013;Donoghue et al, 2011;NICE, 2013;Reaven, 2009).…”
