Review
"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"

"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 bytraditional 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"
