Weiss, Ph.D., Founder & Former Director of Psychosocial Oncology, University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center; Associate Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry, and Psychology, University of Miami School of Medicine From the Author As a graduate student in the early eighties, I studied under the foremost researcher on self-esteem, sociologist Dr. Morris Rosenberg. In surveying thousands of adolescents, Dr. Rosenberg had identified the antecedents of self-esteem and shown that the lack of self-esteem results in a wide range of difficulties in life. One day after class, I asked him how an adult who lacked self-esteem could enhance it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, I dont know. I reasoned that there must be a way to do so, and determined that I would develop an approach to self-esteem enhancement that everyday people could apply. Applying the principle of distinguished psychologist Abraham Maslow that building self-esteem requires many and major impacts, I scoured the literature and pooled the best techniques that affect self-esteem at all levels--thoughts, images, feelings, bodily sensations, and behavior. I then tested the approach with adults ranging in age from eighteen to sixty-eight years of age. It was gratifying to find that self-esteem can indeed be improved through a conscientious application of relatively simple and clear principles and skills. And it is heartwarming to hear from people who have been able to develop the secure anchor of self-esteem, even later in life.
