Low self esteem is core in most psychopathology but there are rare guidelines, manuals, and protocols to help therapists to cover this condition.
Hallo Omid, low self-esteem is a form of self-criticism. You may want to look at the forms of self-criticism scale (http://www.compassionatemind.co.uk/resources/scales.htm) which is used from compassion focused therapy - a new wave CBT. I hope this helps. Best, Anna
Hi Omid,
I have attached a couple of chapters I authored with two colleagues that you may find helpful.
David
David Burns, one of the major players in Cognitive Therapy, has two books: "Ten Days to Self-Esteem" (for individuals or group members) and "Ten Days to Self-Esteem: The Leader's Manual." Both are published by Quill/William Morrow. You might find these books helpful.
I recommend Melanie Fennell's work on a cognitive model of low self-esteem:
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=5085628&fileId=S1352465800015368
and her book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Overcoming-Low-Self-Esteem-Books/dp/1849010684
If you have the details of the publications then you may have other options to obtain the literature. Good luck!
I recent book that refers to protocols overcoming low self esteem and achieving lifelong self esteem (4 step programme) is written by Leslie Sokol and Marci Fox, published by Penguin Group is called "Think confident , be confident". I hope it helps. Leslie is a good friend of mine who is a very competent therapist. (Another book is by Melanie Fennell and it is titled as "Overcoming loe self esteem").
Olá Omid, talvez estes dois artigos o ajude nas suas buscas: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1516-44462008000600004&script=sci_arttext e http://www.usp.br/rbtcc/index.php/RBTCC/article/view/565/377

Unfortunately I do not have the PDF files. Wished I could offer you further help.
Best wishes
Hi Omid,
I would recommend you the Competitive Memory Training for Low Self-Esteem (COMET) by Kees Korrelboom and colleagues. It has a good evidence base and it is easy to use if you have got some experience in CBT. I Think you can get fulltext papers via Kees Korrelbooms Researchgate site or if you write him a message.
Omid, my apologies. I'll be checking my files into others in the English Language articles. Then, I send to you.
CCI Australia has CBT-based therapies for self-esteem treatment manuals.

Is Low Self Esteem a condition? I used to think that it was but having worked with Chronic and Long Term Depression, I now believe that this is an aspect of Dysthymia...in that people function but not that well based on a range of activated beliefs through their environment. This renders them vulnerable to episodes of low mood based on contextual factors and mood increases when Rules For Living have been effectively sanctioned and used again to alleviate the low mood.
Not a great fan of Wiki but here is a link?
