The Rational Adolescent: Thoughts, Emotions, Behavior. A Book on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Adolescence is a time of intense change, emotional vulnerability, and the search for one's identity. During this period, it is especially important to learn to understand one's thoughts, notice internal impulses, and manage behavior in order to cope with emotional outbursts and automatic reactions. This workbook is based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and offers adolescents practical tools for developing self-regulation skills, emotional resilience, and conscious choice. The material is presented in an accessible form and includes exercises, self-observation diaries, and step-by-step techniques that help gradually master the skills of healthy thinking and behavior. The book is suitable for independent work, as well as for use in conjunction with a psychologist, educator, or parent.
