Contextual Schema Therapy, livre ebook

“Building on the foundation of schema therapy as laid by Jeffrey Young, the authors bring schema therapy into the third wave of therapies; in context and the actual effects. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is interweaved throughout the book. It is for example in the true spirit of schema therapy to take into account different perspectives on the ‘same’ context.” —Michiel van Vreeswijk , coauthor of The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Schema Therapy and Mindfulness and Schema Therapy “Therapists today may find themselves asking how they can fit together the plethora of psychological concepts that bombard them from many directions. Schema therapists may ask whether schema therapy by itself is enough, or whether they need other therapy approaches too. The authors of Contextual Schema Therapy show how important concepts that are well articulated within other approaches—such as mentalization, mindfulness, acceptance, metacognition, and human values—can be integrated into the basic schema therapy model. Indeed, many of them are already implicit in it. In addition to showing the integrative power of the schema therapy model, this book offers a fresh and readable account of its central ideas and rich clinical examples of their application, all well-grounded in the current academic and clinical literature.
