"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 --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

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.
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.
