The programme was prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature and consisted of eight consecutive sessions. Each session was 45–60 minutes and took the form of individual interviews with the child/adolescent. Role‐playing, tale writing/completion, story‐poetry‐letter writing, questions and answers, straight narration, homework and slide‐show training methods and other techniques were used in the sessions.
