Reviews"This is a clearly written text, and the therapeutic techniques are presented in a coherent way. Within each chapter, concepts and techniques are first introduced briefly, then discussed in detail, and summarized at the end. The book will be useful for cognitive-behaviour therapists working with a range of disorders, and invaluable for those working with patients with more chronic problems and personality disorders."--Behavioral & Cognitive Psychotherapy "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 "...offers an exciting and innovative treatment approach for psychotherapists who work with seriously character disordered patients....The authors have put together 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....All chapters are filled with extensive case material that illustrates in great depth the application of the schema approach to patient treatment. The richness of the clinical material is enough to give practitioners a basic understanding of how to apply schema therapy, even without extensive training....the book provides an insightful, innovative, and thorough treatment approach to personality pathology."--Journal of Psychosomatic Research "...a comprehensive treatment manual that provides an authoritative conceptual overview and step-by-step guidelines for assessment and treatment....This book is recommended for purchase by medical libraries as well as libraries that support upper level undergraduate and graduate students in mental health, and mental health practitioners."--E-Streams "The book is an exposition of schema therapy from A to Z. It covers theoretical concepts and provides detailed strategies for addressing particular schemas. It also includes chapters dealing with borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. Because it is easy to read and provides nice clinical examples, it gives cognitive-behavioral therapists more strategies in dealing with refractory patients....This is an excellent book....4 Stars!"--Doody's Electronic Journal "An excellent guide for working with patients with Axis II conditions. It is an assimilative integration...of the best of the psychoanalytic and gestalt-experiential thinking into a sophisticated cognitive-behavioral structure. Young and his collaborators have been working on this amalgam for more than 15 years, and this volume is a superb presentation of the whole cloth that they have woven from extensive clinical experience, some outcome studies, and good integrative thinking....The book provides many examples of excellent therapeutic dialogue and exercises....This is a superb volume, reflecting many years of astute clinical and theoretical work by very able clinicians who have translated from many tongues and assembled a therapeutic masterwork. It should appeal to psychotherapy integrationists from many traditions."--Psychotherapy Research "A thought giving book and is recommended for the clinician as well as the researcher."--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews "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, "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, "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, "This is an important and valuable book.

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, "Schema therapy represents a brilliant addition to the therapist's armamentarium of techniques.
