Enhancing self-esteem in a community mental health setting

Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1997 Oct;67(4):655-9. doi: 10.1037/h0080264.

Abstract

A group treatment program for enhancing self-esteem was examined in relation to outcomes for a mixed diagnostic group of mental health clients and for a comparison group of non-clients. Both groups reported satisfaction with the program and showed improvement on self-esteem scores from pretest to the posttest. The program proved practical in terms of implementation, evaluation, and member satisfaction.
