| Résumé : |
It is well known that a person’s self-esteem has a great impact on their general mood and performance and that low self-esteem can lead to depression and social isolation. Yet, the author argues, raising self-esteem is rarely the prime target of interventions. In this paper, Anna Tickle describes weekly group sessions to enhance the self-esteem of 11 adults on the autism spectrum. An attempt was made to measure the change in self-esteem but the measure used was not adequate and this raises an issue about how one might assess this in adults with communication and/or learning difficulties. The paper gives ideas on both the content and the process of setting up and implementing an intervention to raise self-esteem. |
