Thinking for a Change: A best practice cognitive
behavioral curriculum developed
by Jack Bush, Ph.D., Barry Glick, Ph.D. and Julianna Taymans,
Ph.D. The curriculum
uses as its core a problem solving program embellished by both
cognitive restructuring an social skills interventions. The
initial 11 lessons introduce and emphasize the cognitive
restructuring concepts while intertwining targeted critical
social skills which support the cognitive restructuring process.
Lessons 16-21 focus on problem solving skills, with appropriate
social skills lessons to embellish the concept. Lesson 22, the
final lesson, is an evaluation that the participants can use to
evaluate themselves using the skills checklist.
