Abstract: Presents a modified version of L. Cameron-Bandler's (1985) neurolinguistic programming technique for building self-esteem in elementary school students. This technique is a form of dissociation that allows children to internally generate the experience of being loved rather than relying only on external verification. Steps for implementing this technique in classroom settings are outlined. This approach has been found to be useful in working with elementary school students and in preparing elementary school counselors. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).
