Abstract: Negative self-talk is a self-referenced speech that appraises self worth and ability and is associated with depression, anxiety, and a child's performance in the classroom.Because negative self-talk is a behavior that manifests in childhood and poses educational and psychological barriers, a theoretical and practical understanding is necessary to help children overcome this obstacle.This critical analysis of the field's knowledge reviews several independent conceptualizations for self-talk and discusses symptomology associated with self talk.It also reviews interventions developed from this framework, specifically school interventions and interventions for athletics are summarized.Directions for future research are proposed, and implications for practice in schools are discussed.
