Thinking Good, Feeling Better cover

Instructional resource for mental health clinicians on using cognitive behavioural therapy with adolescents and young adults

This book complements author Paul Stallard’s Think Good, Feel Good and provides a range of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy resources that can be used with adolescents and young adults. Building upon that book’s core strengths, it provides psycho-educational materials specifically designed for adolescents and young people. The materials, which have been used in the author’s clinical practice, can also be utilized in schools to help adolescents develop better cognitive, emotional and behavioural skills.

Thinking Good, Feeling Better includes traditional CBT ideas and also draws on ideas from the third wave approaches of mindfulness, compassion focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. It includes practical exercises and worksheets that can be used to introduce and develop the key concepts of CBT. The book starts by introducing readers to the origin, basic theory, and rationale behind CBT and explains how the workbook should be used. Chapters cover techniques used in CBT; the process of CBT; valuing oneself; learning to be kind to oneself; mindfulness; controlling feelings; thinking traps; solving problems; facing fears; and more. 

  • Written by an experienced professional with all clinically tested material
  • Specifically developed for older adolescents and young adults
  • Reflects current developments in clinical practice
  • Wide range of downloadable materials
  • Includes ideas from third wave CBT, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 

Thinking Good, Feeling Better: A CBT Workbook for Adolescents and Young Adults is a "must have" resource for clinical psychologists, adolescent and young adult psychiatrists, community psychiatric nurses, educational psychologists, and occupational therapists. It is also a valuable resource for those who work with adolescents and young adults including social workers, nurses, practice counsellors, health visitors, teachers and special educational needs coordinators.

"One of the most useful aspects of the book is the accompanying online resources. Wiley, the publisher, have made all of the worksheets in the book available as electronic versions online, to anyone who buys the book. This means there is no need to stuff it into a photocopier and run off second-rate copies, or to buy a new book for each client. Instead, you can legally and straightforwardly print out pristine colour copies for those worksheets you want." -James Murray

"As a fairly experienced CBT practitioner working with adolescents, this list feels pretty comprehensive, and certainly covers the most commonly used areas of psychoeducation, behavioural activation, graduated exposure, cognitive restructuring and problem solving, and emotional regulation" -James Murray
