In much of psychotherapy and counselling, self-esteem plays a central role, irrespective of the particular patient’s disorder or diagnosis. Two approaches are effective in improving self-esteem during psychotherapy: first of all, many patients have an overly critical opinion of themselves and treat themselves too harshly. In this case, it helps their self-esteem if they learn to love themselves more and be more forgiving. Secondly, patients’ self-esteem gets a huge boost when they experience success, manage to achieve their goals and assert themselves in social situations. The authors use cards to implement the appropriate interventions.

The modules each contain 15 cards and provide a wide range of tools for working with the topic of self-esteem with lots of exercises, psycho educational texts, examples and visual stimuli. The cards can be used for any disorder.

Module 1: Getting to the bottom of your own self-esteem problems
Module 2: Becoming your own best friend
Module 3: Relinquishing excessively high standards, replacing them with realistic standards
Module 4: Achieving goals more successfully
