51 separate “stinking thinking” issues are addressed in this series, using worksheets for cognitive restructuring. Each lesson provides examples of this form of cognitive distortion, asks participants to examine their own thinking, then guides the examination—including consequences. Worksheets guide the development of new ways of thinking and responding.

Counselors are provided tools to help select appropriate lessons for use with individual or groups. Major topic areas include criminal thinking, negativity, manipulation of others, and issues which emerge in recovery programs and groups.
