An excellent best-selling guide to treating
the most difficult cases in your practice: personality disorders and other
chronic, self-defeating problems. This approach is a pioneering integration of
cognitive behavior therapy with gestalt, object relations, and psychoanalytic
approaches. The author describes how he adapted traditional cognitive therapy
techniques to more effectively treat patients with narcissistic, borderline,
passive-aggressive, dependent, and other personality disorders, as well as
chronic dysthymic and anxious patients. Contains rationale, theory, practical
applications, and active cognitive behavioral techniques. Presents an extended
case example, and updated revisions of the Young Schema Questionnaire, a
Client's Guide to this approach, and schema listings. Click here to go to Author's web site: https://www.schematherapy.com/
Reviews
"During a 10-year stint as director of research and training at
Beck's Center for Cognitive Therapy in Philadelphia, Jeffrey Young trained
hundreds of clinicians in his unique approach to cognitive therapy. In this
little volume, written primarily for the mental health professional, he presents
his innovative...cognitively oriented approach to the treatment of patients with
personality disorders and a variety of related chronic, self defeating
problems."
-Contemporary Psychology
"This is a well written book which will make a positive
contribution to the field of short term therapy. The case studies are clearly
presented and generalize to similar situations from one's own
practice."
-Psychotherapy in Private
Practice
"This book is a nice addition to cognitive-behavioral therapy. It
is well done because it operationalizes the centerpiece of cognitive-behavioral
therapy, schemas, and outlines methods for change."
-Leon A. Hyer, EdD, ABPP, Augusta, Georgia
