Reviews

This flexible, innovative and evidenced-based programme, underpinned by key psychological theories and models, will prove an invaluable resource for all those striving to engage and support children and young people to recognise their inherent strengths and to develop positive attitudes to learning. -- Elizabeth N. King, Principal Psychologist, South Lanarkshire Council Psychological Services, UK Chodkiewicz and Boyle have produced an evidentially-based programme of work that innovatively combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attribution Retraining to promote positive self-belief in learning. This is a focus frequently neglected by mainstream intervention and reflects the authors deep experience as educators, psychologists and academics. Materials within offer adaptibility, utility and the opportunity for positive and preventative intervention supporting learner self-efficacy. -- Dr John Pugh, Principal Psychologist, Educational Psychology Service, St Helens Council, UK
