dc.description.abstractFrom Senthil Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, 60 school students (40 boys & 20 girls) in the age range of 15-17 years were selected by the Purposive Sampling and were screened using Case Study Schedule (Hemalatha, 2008), Anxiety Inventory (Nandhini, 2005) and Insecurity Questionnaire (G. C. Patti). Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was administered to the school students (Tull, 2009). Five sessions of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was given daily, for a week. Each session lasted for one hour. After two weeks the subject reassessed using the Case Study Reassessment (Hemalatha, 2008), Insecurity Questionnaire (G. C. Patti) and Anxiety Inventory (Nandhini, 2005). Initially 63% of the students had ‘high’ Anxiety and none of them had ‘high anxiety’ after Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. There was a significant reduction in the anxiety and insecurity from ‘high’ to ‘low’ after Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. The symptoms reported by the school students were disturbed sleep, short temper, head ache, confusion, giddiness, lack of interest and day dreaming. The common negative emotions were fear, worry, anger, irritability, anxiety, hostility and depression. After Cognitive Behaviour Therapy there was a drastic reduction in the Symptoms and Negative Emotions of the students.en_US
