Designed to meet the formidable challenges of treating personality disorders and other complex difficulties, schema therapy combines proven cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of other widely practiced therapies. This book--written by the model's developer and two of its leading practitioners--is the first major text for clinicians wishing to learn and use this popular approach. Described are innovative ways to rapidly conceptualize challenging cases, explore the client's childhood history, identify and modify self-defeating 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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 Published On: 2006-11-05

"Recommended for the clinician as well as the researcher." ― Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews Published On: 2006-11-05

"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 Published On: 2006-11-05

"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 Published On: 2006-11-05

"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 Published On: 2006-11-05

Will change how you see some/all people - Crazy accurate

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2013

While it is a therapy manual, I found it to be by far, the best book on the subject as I was able to understand, and agree with most everything in it as I interact with several people that perfectly exhibit such patterns. And while most common theories mash a bunch of random ideas together, this really ties it altogether into a clear and neat little package that makes a ton more sense.

In terms of understanding other people, it really helps to see them in a much higher, compassionate viewpoint, and prevents burnout, which is so common a problem. Heck, it even shows that subjectivity over objectivity is extremely valuable.

While it is written to help those that do not necessarily fit neatly into society perfectly, it actually helps to really recognize and eliminate life traps in a much bigger population (e.g. you), and perhaps most importantly, to see peoples problems as a strong need/call for help--and not malicious, selfish, manipulative actions.

Lots of people are unnecessarily suffering from various social disorders (e.g. BPD, EDD, and CPSTD), and I am surprised more professionals have not heard of this theoretical approach as it makes much more intuitive and structural sense, and besides, a handful of studies show its the best treatment method by far, esp in a group setting.

I really hope this goes viral in the health community and its main ideas reach mainstream public.

I like the fact that, as someone who just wants to learn more about herself, this book still works fantastic and so appealing for me to learn more about myself in both patients and practitioners perspective. And it is a great add on to the book Reinventing Your Life.

Important update to CBT, but its assumptions don't take memory reconsolidation into account!

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

Well-researched and thorough treatment of a more integrative form of CBT. The formulation of schemas as core belief systems from early experience which can act as the roots of personality disorders brings a much-needed depth to the cognitive-behavioral paradigm, which promises more effective interventions for people suffering with axis II disorders. The references to brain science in support of the methodology add to the soundness of its theoretical basis. My only misgiving is that, given the book was published in 2006, its suggestion that emotional responses encoded by the amygdala/limbic brain can never be erased. This statement seems ignorant of the neuroscience breakthrough research published in 2004 establishing the experimentally proven phenomenon of emotional memory reconsolidation, whereby emotional memory (i.e. the triggered emotional reaction and the dysfunctional beliefs built around them) can be reliably and thoroughly erased vs. overwritten or diminished by neocortex learning. This represents a major development with clinical implications that would probably have resulted in significant revisions or at least modifications of Schema Therapy. Anyone interested in therapies which deliberately or coincidentally incorporate the steps of memory reconsolidation outlined by neuroscience researchers should read Unlocking the Emotional Brain by Ecker et al.

If you're interested in CBT and tend to focus on reframing negative self talk, this is an excellent book for you. The discussion outlines several maladaptive schemas in great detail to help with conceptualization and treatment panning.

Like any worthwhile book, this is one that requires a little extra thought. But, it is rewarding if you have questions about therapy, and why it's sometimes a fleeting target to capture.

This is a wonderful book. I've been in practice for 30+ years. While I have used most of the approaches for a long time, this book has put together
strands from many areas of knowledge and practice. It integrates theory and practice, relates directly to therapists' issues, provides useful
case examples, AND is a fascinating read. Well worth the cost and the 400 page read. I am amazed at how much clarity and progress it has
brought to my practice.

Best ID of my problems ever and best solutions. I feel it is the best therapy out there presently and that there should be a lot more research regarding its effectiveness. Europe has already done studies touting its success in comparison to other therapies.
