Schema Therapy in Practice

Schema Therapy in Practice presents a comprehensive introduction to schema therapy for non-specialist practitioners wishing to incorporate it into their clinical practice.

"The writing style is concise and grounded in the clinical setting, the case examples are clear and informative and the FAQs at the end of each chapter are well conceived. ...Arntz and Jacob manage to provide a captivating insight into what we might observe if looking in on a schema therapy session, and I think go some way toward convincing us that these are some genuinely novel ideas and methods that may deserve a place in our own consulting rooms."  ( The Psychiatrist , 1 June 2013)
