Schema therapy represents a brilliant addition to the therapist's
armamentarium of techniques. Building on cognitive therapy, the
approach provides a means for dealing with many of the problems
people face in their daily lives. For example, someone with a
social isolation/alienation schema will believe that he or she is
isolated from others, but often will act in ways to create or
exacerbate this isolation. A complete guide to the use of schema
therapy, this book shows how to help clients recognize and overcome
such maladaptive patterns. I very highly recommend it.--Robert J.
Sternberg, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University
This volume demonstrates in a skillful, highly readable fashion how
the standard cognitive therapy approaches to Axis 1 disorders can
be expanded and modified to treat personality disorders. Working
within a comprehensive cognitive model, the authors draw on a
variety of strategies to address the specific problems in this
population: rigid, lifelong maladaptive characterological patterns;
chronic interpersonal difficulties; and transference reactions. The
book shows how to attenuate the powerful beliefs underlying these
patterns through exploratory and experiential strategies. Highly
recommended for all therapists engaged in treating patients with
these very difficult personality problems.--Aaron T. Beck, MD,
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania
The work of Jeffrey E. Young and his colleagues represents both a
major contribution to the evolution of cognitive and
cognitive-behavioral therapy and an important step toward enhancing
the prospects for integrating cognitive therapy with other
approaches, particularly psychoanalysis. This book presents schema
therapy in clear and generous detail and offers much to the
experienced practitioner and the student. A highly valuable and
worthwhile contribution.--Paul L. Wachtel, PhD, Doctoral Program in
Clinical Psychology, City College, City University of New York
Young et al. have developed an innovative, rich, and intuitively
healing approach to therapy based on years of clinical experience
and research. Schema therapy incorporates wisdom from a variety of
approaches to bring fresh new perspectives to traditional cognitive
therapy. In this book, clinicians will find up-to-the-minute,
empirically supported approaches to treating such difficult
problems as narcissistic and borderline personality disorders.
Strategies and procedures are laid out in a clear and compelling
manner, including invaluable advice on implementation. All
clinicians wishing to incorporate schema-based cognitive approaches
into their practices will find this book an invaluable resource and
a pleasure to read.--David H. Barlow, PhD, Center for Anxiety and
Related Disorders, Department of Psychology, Boston University
In expanding the traditional cognitive model to include an emphasis
on the therapeutic relationship and on lifelong patterns of
maladaptive behavior, Young et al. have created a place for
cognitive-behavioral therapy in treating even the most severe
characterological disorders. The combination of solid empirical
research; detailed, specific techniques; and clear, concise
recommendations for therapy help therapists at every level better
conceptualize and treat challenging cases. I have found Schema
Therapy to be an invaluable text for graduate courses in clinical
interventions and an excellent resource for students wishing to
improve their skills in clinical work.--Mary Armsworth, EdD,
Department of Educational Psychology, University of Houston - This
is an important and valuable book. It develops a model of treatment
for challenging populations, typically underserved by traditional
CBT. It may well become a 'necessary reading' text for advanced
therapy courses in clinical psychology training programs. It is
important reading for psychologists working with patients with
characterological problems or, who simply wish for techniques to
use when patients become 'stuck' and unresponsive to CBT. --Child
and Family Behavior Therapy, 11/5/2006ƒƒ Recommended for the
clinician as well as the researcher. --Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Book Reviews, 11/5/2006ƒƒ Useful verbatim examples are given for
treatment of several types of patients....A very good book, and I
highly recommend it to both novice and veteran therapists.
--Psychiatric Times, 11/5/2006ƒƒ A rich and highly informative text
that outlines the principles of the schema model, schema assessment
and evaluation, and all the major components of schema
therapy....The richness of the clinical material is enough to give
practitioners a basic understanding of how to apply schema
therapy....An insightful, innovative, and thorough treatment
approach to personality pathology. --Journal of Psychosomatic
Research, 11/5/2006ƒƒ This is a superb volume, reflecting many
years of astute clinical and theoretical work by very able
clinicians....It should appeal to psychotherapy integrationists
from many traditions. --Psychotherapy Research, 11/5/2006
