About this title

From the Back Cover:

Schema therapy is now firmly established as an effective treatment for borderline personality disorder, and new applications are constantly being explored. Among the most promising is schema mindfulness, an approach that integrates schema therapy with techniques of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Mindfulness and Schema Therapy presents an innovative eight-session + two follow up sessions protocol for schema mindfulness. Structured in three sections―theoretical background, therapist’s guide and patient workbook―Mindfulness and Schema Therapy explores how mindfulness can be used to better understand schema triggered responses and how patients can learn to respond in more healthy ways towards themselves and others. Innovatively combining theory, research, and practical guidance, Mindfulness and Schema Therapy represents an invaluable resource for therapists and patients seeking the very latest developments in schema therapy.
