Well-Being Therapy Eases Distress in Schools
|
A study by Italian researchers shows that Well-Being Therapy (WBT), an approach focusing on helping patients' sense of well-being by increasing awareness of positive moments and changing thoughts that disrupt well-being, may have success in schools.
One hundred eleven middle school students were assigned randomly to groups receiving a protocol based either on WBT or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
