Synopsis:
Personality disorders are among the most resistant clinical problems presented to therapists-and they are evident in the majority of private practice patients. This books discusses schema-focused therapy, an integrative approach developed by the author to treat characterological patients including borderline, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, passive-agresssive, and histrionic personality disorders. In addition to presenting the rational, theory, and practical techniques of schema-focused therapy, this third edition includes an extended case example and revised editions of the Young Schema Questionnaire, Client's Guide, and schema listings.
About the Author: Jeffrey E. Young, PhD, is Founder and Director of the Cognitive Therapy Centers of New York and Fairfield County (Connecticut). He is also on the faculty in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. Dr. Young received his bachelor's degree from Yale University and his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Center for Cognitive Therapy with Aaron Beck, founder of the cognitive approach, and went on to serve there as Director of Research and Training. Using well-known procedures and materials he has developed over the past 18 years, the author has trained thousands of cognitive therapists at workshops throughout the world. Dr. Young is co-author of a major psychotherapy outcome study evaluating the effectiveness of cognitive therapy, has served as consultant on several research grants, and was on the editorial board of Cognitive Therapy and Research. He has published widely on cognitive therapy, and has recently co-authored Cognitive Science and Clinical Disorders (with Dan Stein) and Reinventing Your Life (with Janet Klosko), a self-help book based on his schema-focused approach.
