Whispering Shadows: Think Clearly & Claim Your Personal Power

by Polly Nichols

Whispering Shadows is the worktext that accompanies Clear Thinking . The program personifies self-defeating beliefs and distortions as Whispering Shadows,charicatures of such problems as anger (the Mad Man), jealousy (Envy Eyes), blaming (the Whoo Mee Kids), and depression (the Prophet of Doom). Star Thinkers and Clear Thinkers talk back to the Shadows, modeling the optimistic, realistic self-talk that students must learn to banish them. Appealing, culturally diverse drawings illustrate cognitive/affective self-control techniques for real-life issues. Even poor readers and immature thinkers can become their own personal scietists, using their brains to build personal power and improve their lives.
