The FCBT has been developed by us as a separate component of our Complementary Group Psychotherapy at the Psycho-social Rehabilitation Center in Tbilisi.

The structure of the FCBT model consists of: 1)preparatory talk; 2)reading of certain fairy-tales in group; 3)cognitive-behavioral analysis of the fairy-tale; 4)drawing a parallel between the content of the fairy-tale analysis and the group members' own experiences, problems, etc.

The cognitive-behavioral analysis of the fairy-tale implies: 1)cognitive analysis of the fairy-tale (what are: the main ideas of the fairy-tale, meanings of important elements of the fairy-tale, rational and irrational beliefs and views of the characters, peculiarities of the characters' thinking, etc.); 2)behavioral-situational analysis of the fairy-tale(how the character behaves in a concrete situation; what wishes, emotions and thoughts does the character have in a concrete situation; what are the causes, triggers and factors of the character's concrete behavior; what are the results of the character's behavior; how is it possible to change the concrete behavior of the character); 3)problem analysis of the fairy-tale (what problems and ways of their solution are presented in the fairy-tale; causes, sources and factors of the problems; scientific models of problem solving).
