Abstract

Adolescents often struggle with low self-confidence, exacerbated by negative thought patterns and irrational beliefs that hinder their social and emotional development. This study explores the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring, a core component of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), in enhancing self-confidence among adolescents. The intervention focused on identifying, challenging, and replacing negative thoughts with constructive alternatives. A single-subject case study design was employed, with pretest and posttest measures on the Self-Confidence Scale to assess changes. Results indicated a significant increase in self-confidence scores, from 72 (low confidence) to 97 (moderate confidence). Qualitative data revealed behavioral improvements, such as reduced hesitation in social interactions and increased willingness to express opinions. The subject's belief in irrational thoughts, like fearing social judgment, was reduced, demonstrating cognitive restructuring’s role in shifting negative perceptions. This study highlights the transformative potential of cognitive counseling in fostering adolescent self-confidence. By addressing irrational beliefs and encouraging adaptive thinking, cognitive restructuring not only improved the subject’s self-esteem but also promoted positive social behavior. These findings align with existing literature, emphasizing the value of CBT-based interventions in promoting mental well-being. The study underscores the importance of integrating cognitive restructuring techniques into educational and counseling programs to support adolescents facing self-confidence challenges. However, its single-case design limits generalizability, warranting further research with larger, diverse samples. This approach offers a promising pathway for practitioners to help adolescents develop resilience and a healthier self-concept.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder shaped by biological, psychological, and social vulnerabilities. This study explores these factors in a subject with paranoid schizophrenia, complicated by a history of methamphetamine abuse, familial discord, and social rejection. Using a single-subject case study approach, including clinical interviews, behavioral observations, standardized assessments (WAIS, PANSS, WHODAS 2.0, and projective tests), and a Reality Therapy intervention based on the WDEP system, the study revealed significant cognitive impairments, avoidant coping patterns, and unmet psychological needs. The intervention fostered emotional regulation, social engagement, and proactive goal setting, demonstrating its effectiveness in addressing maladaptive behaviors. However, familial rejection and societal stigma persisted as barriers to sustained recovery. These findings highlight the importance of holistic approaches addressing the interconnected dimensions of schizophrenia, emphasizing the role of psychoeducation, family reconciliation, and community support in achieving long-term stability.
