"Sokol and Fox have produced a highly instructive and accessible
workbook for youth who struggle with confidence and doubt. I
enthusiastically recommend this workbook, as the authors perfectly
balance the presentation of key ideas and the provision of adequate
training opportunities for achieving mastery. This book will be
useful as both an adjunct to therapy and a stand-alone
resource."
