AbstractLow self-esteem is widely acknowledged to be associated with the phenomenology of a number of mental health diagnoses, including those which are treated under the umbrella of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services. To evaluate the effectiveness of group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based on the work of Fennell in treating low self-esteem 50 participants attended a 10-week group programme. Pre- and post-group measures of depression, anxiety and self-esteem were compared using Mann–Whitney U tests. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant and clinically meaningful change across all pre- and post-group measures. Mean post-group measures indicated levels of depression and anxiety which were below caseness and a healthy level of self-esteem. Results indicated that gains were well maintained at 3-month follow-up. The results from this study highlight the effectiveness of group CBT for low self-esteem and thus contribute to the limited evidence base in this area. Results are discussed with consideration of the existing evidence base, implications for clinical practice, and future research.
