Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate COMET-Y in 22 adolescents (11-18 years) with various mental health problems and low self-esteem. The main questions is: Does COMET-Y, parallel to care as usual (CAU), improve self-esteem?

Before and after the training participants fill in questionnaires to measure self-esteem, mental health problems, resilience, quality of life, emotions and individual goals. Some of the outcomes are measured through diary methods. Youth and therapists will be assessed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the COMET-Y training.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

COMET-Y

Competitive memory training (COMET) is a transdiagnostic intervention first developed for adults and later adapted to be used in children and adolescents. The adapted version for youth consists of 7 sessions in which participants learn to facilitate activation of functional/positive thoughts instead of relying on dysfunctional/negative thoughts by using positive self-verbalizations, imagery, body posture, and music. In addition, they are challenged to reformulate dysfunctional/negative thoughts into more functional/positive thoughts. As an addition to the original COMET protocol, there is a parent session in which parents receive psycho-education about their influence on self-esteem. Parents learn to be a 'co-therapist' and to support practicing at home and improve generalization.
