The Woman Within.
Rea, Lorraine
This document is a leader's guide for conducting a course in improving self-esteem for mature middle- and upper-class women. After a section on characteristics needed by group leaders and pointers on conducting group discussions, the document contains lesson plans for eight discussion-group lessons. Topics covered during the eight sessions include the following: the importance of a positive self-image; discovering the roots of the self-image; putting yourself in control; the importance of honest communication; putting male relationships in the proper perspective (2 sessions); overcoming fears; and putting it all together. Each lesson plan contains exercises for participants, handouts, and tips for the group leader. Optional pre- and posttests for evaluating the course are included in an appendix to the document. (KC)
