This book is an interactive survival guide for your mind. It gives kids and teens everywhere a chance to help themselves not only to feel better but to GET BETTER. You will learn how to use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), a method of psychotherapy developed by Albert Ellis, Ph.D., to change your upsetting and unhelpful thinking, tolerate frustration, care a lot less about what people think of you, and live through embarrassment which you create and can UN-create. This book shows you how to take control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions – if you want to. Adults can also use this book to help themselves, as well as the kids and teens that they care about. Mental health professionals can use it as a workbook to help clients during and between therapy or counseling sessions. With Forward by Yonas Endale Geda, M.D., Mayo Clinic and Introduction by Jerry Wilde, Ph.D., author of Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out.
I have preserved the original write-up on this book as follows-- 08/31/06 Why I wrote this book: About a year ago, I heard that Dr. Albert Ellis, my mentor, was quite ill and having financial difficulties getting access to medical care that wasn't covered by his insurance. He helped me in a profound way, so I wanted to help him back. As a struggling graduate student, I don't have much in the way of financial resources. So I decided to use what I do have: The knowledge that I got from Dr. Ellis himself. That's why I wrote this book to benefit his medical care. This book is a win-win situation: Dr. Ellis gets helped, and so do you, as well as your family, friends, and clients or patients. "This book is a remarkable achievement for a young professional." - Yonas Endale Geda, M.D., M.Sc., Neuropsychiatrist & Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Mayo College of Medicine.
