The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Schema Therapy: Theory, Research, and Practice (Wiley Clinical Psychology Handbooks)

Schema Therapy―an innovative psychotherapy approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques―is a valuable tool for patients exhibiting various personality disorders. Recent research has confirmed Schema Therapy to be an effective (and cost-effective) treatment for people with borderline personality disorders. The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Schema Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of developments in the theory, diagnosis, treatment, research, implementation, and management of Schema Therapy. The volume includes international perspectives (e.g. USA, UK, Australia, Norway, Germany, Austria), as well as contributions and editorial oversight by Dutch researchers, widely recognized as the world leaders in Schema Therapy research.

Chapters begin with an introduction and description of the current state of affairs in Schema Therapy, followed by an overview of contemporary practice that includes some of the pitfalls and solutions to its implementation. Future developments in the field are also considered. The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Schema Therapy represents an important addition to this rapidly growing field of clinical psychology.
