(ISBN 1932565213) Price: $19.95 The
cognitive behavior therapy program Exploring Feelings was designed to
be highly structured, interesting and successful in encouraging the cognitive
control of emotions. Every child participating in the program has a workbook
for the six two-hour sessions that includes activities and information
to explore the specific feelings of being happy, relaxed, anxious or angry.
There are sections in the workbook to record individual comments and responses
to questions. At the end of each session, a project is explained to the
child, which is to be completed before the next session. At the start
of the next session the project is discussed with the person implementing
the program or the group of participants using the program. A metaphor
was created of the child being an astronaut or scientist exploring a new
planet, as the author has noted that children with Asperger Syndrome are
often interested in exploration of the physical world, science and science
fiction. The program was designed as a treatment for an anxiety disorder
or anger management problem in children with Asperger syndrome but the
program can be equally applied to children with high functioning autism
and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDDNOS).
The program does not have to be implemented by a qualified psychologist.
A teacher, speech pathologist, occupational therapist or parent could
implement the program without having training in cognitive behavior therapy.
