Managing Low Self Esteem

Managing Low Self Esteem charts Windy Dryden′s work in running brief, structured, educationally–orientated, self–acceptance groups. The book is based on the principles of Rational Emotive Behaviour – an approach to counselling and psychotherapy. This approach has a philosophical position in the self which stresses a person′s uniqueness, humanity, complexity and fallibility. In this way, it advocates self–acceptance rather than self–esteem. It also argues that this position can be taught and learned in a short peiod of time. Through detailed session reviews, the book shows how unconditional self–acceptance can be taught not only to psychotherapy clients, but to members of the general public.
