Description¶

A researcher-developed group program of eight 90-minute sessions guided by Beck's ten principles of cognitive therapy, targeting automatic thoughts, intermediate beliefs, and core beliefs about academic tasks. Sessions combined "problem-solving, cognitive, and behavioral techniques" and used activities, visual materials, metaphors, homework, and Socratic dialogue. Each session opened with a summary of the previous session and homework discussion and closed with summarizing, feedback, and new homework.
