The Facilitator's Manual is a unique book as it focuses on the type of individual thatwill make 'STOP, THINK, ACT' program a success. It is very important to developthis key element, the facilitator, since no matter how good the program is, it will fail if the facilitator is not credible and the only goal he has is to make the participants happy becoming their victim. The manual models the type of person needed for such an ambitious but achievable task of improving behavior through cognitive intervention. He is guided step by step to deal with different types of participants, to be aware of their reality, their emotions, their feelings. The book also identifies problemsand obstacles that might hamper the group dynamics and how to deal with those hurdles. The facilitator develops positive self-concepts, tools for problem solving, creative abilities and acceptable alternatives for the interaction with participants. As a result, the facilitator should be able to explain a wide range of behaviors in cognitive terms and to understand the process of cognitive change. The facilitator would have applied the techniques of cognitive change on himself, targeting some of his own behaviors, identifying his own thinking patterns, and applying his own cognitive intervention.
