(1) Background: Self-esteem plays an important role in developing emotional resilience and wellbeing in children. Yet, there has been little related research on Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy on this topic. Our aims were to assess the effect of the Child Self-Esteem CBT (CSE-CBT) protocol on children's self-esteem in grades five and six; to assess the effect of the CSE-CBT protocol on the therapeutic process; and to explore the feasibility of delivering the CSE-CBT protocol in a school setting. (2) Methods: Eighty elementary school children in grades five and six, divided into four intervention and four control groups, attended 12 structured sessions using the CSE-CBT protocol, led by specially trained teachers. The children completed questionnaires to assess their self-esteem at the beginning and at the end of the study, and answered weekly questionnaires that assessed therapeutic process. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the data. (3) Results: The CSE-CBT protocol had a significant effect on improving children's self-esteem over the course of the study, regardless of the children's working alliance with the teacher leading the group. (4) Conclusions: The findings suggest that the CSE-CBT protocol has the potential to benefit children's self-esteem and indicate that school teachers can be trained to administer the CBT-protocol.
(1) 背景：自尊在培养儿童情绪恢复力和幸福感方面起着重要作用。然而，关于认知行为团体疗法在该主题上的相关研究很少。我们的目的是评估儿童自尊认知行为疗法（CSE - CBT）方案对五、六年级儿童自尊的影响；评估CSE - CBT方案对治疗过程的影响；并探讨在学校环境中实施CSE - CBT方案的可行性。(2) 方法：80名五、六年级的小学生被分为四个干预组和四个对照组，由经过专门培训的教师带领，参加了使用CSE - CBT方案的12次结构化课程。孩子们在研究开始和结束时完成问卷以评估他们的自尊，并每周回答评估治疗过程的问卷。采用分层线性模型分析数据。(3) 结果：在研究过程中，CSE - CBT方案对提高儿童自尊有显著效果，无论儿童与带领小组的教师的工作联盟如何。(4) 结论：研究结果表明，CSE - CBT方案有可能有益于儿童的自尊，并表明学校教师可以接受培训来实施CBT方案。
