Clear Thinking: Talking Back to Whispering Shadows
A PsychoEducational Program for Pre-teens, Teens, & Young Adults

Whispering Shadows: Think Clearly & Claim Your Personal Power

Polly Nichols, Ph.D., author
Martha Shaw, illustrator

Clear Thinking is a 195-page instructor's guide that offers a caring, respectful way to teach young people how to improve their lives. With its detailed lesson plans, worksheets, and text, you can help your students or clients learn to:

  • challenge self-defeating beliefs
  • reduce upset feelings to a manageable level
  • develop self-knowledge and self-control
  • cultivate better relationships
  • take positive action to reach reasonable, satisfying goals

Clear Thinking was developed from a therapeutic curriculum in use for more than ten years in hospital school programs for students with emotional and behavior problems. Now it is being used successfully in public school classrooms, alternative schools, counselors' offices, and all kinds of residential settings.

Whispering Shadows is the 95-page student workbook that accompanies Clear Thinking.
