Description - Schema Therapy by Jeffrey E. Young

Designed to bring about lasting change in clients with personality disorders and other complex difficulties, schema therapy combines proven cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential and psychodynamic therapies. This book, written by the model's developer and two of its leading practitioners, is a text for clinicians wishing to learn and use this integrative approach. Provided in this comprehensive volume are an authoritative conceptual overview and step-by-step guidelines for assessment and treatment. Clinicians learn innovative ways to rapidly conceptualize challenging cases, explore the client's childhood history; identify and modify self-defeating behavioural patterns, use imagery and other experiential techniques in treatment, and maximize the power of the therapeutic relationship. Including detailed protocols for treating borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, the book is illustrated with numerous clinical examples.
